"Grandma, I don't want to live away from my daddy and mommy... I know that I won't get to see them again... What if I miss them?" her words were a bit incoherent as she forced back her sobs.

Seeing the little girl, he felt something tugged on his heart.

"Hazel," Neil spoke after a while. "If you don't want to live in the countryside with grandma, then would you like to live with me?"

Edith looked out the window and noticed that Neil was not heading back to their apartment. She turned to Neil and thought about where they might be headed next. Edith recalled his conversation with Assistant Shawn and just as she had thought, Neil pulled over his car at a parking spot and brought them over to a restaurant.

A waiter greeted and led them to a private room.

As soon as they entered the room, familiar faces appeared in front of them. Edith stared at the faces of their family and friends and was stunned for a while.
