"What happens when the babies are taken away? I mean the male children taken at birth?""That I am not sure of, no one here knows, but we guess they are being sold to families who need children, that's our guess, we don't know for real,""Or could they be sent to the place you were before you came here, you know the camp,""No, that's not it, there are no young children there, just people sold, and we were not allowed to talk to each other unlike here so no one really knows,"She explained."So what you are saying is, you get sold, they are taken to a camp to learn the language that is spoken here and then sent here, what I don't understand is, there is a ferry, and people are leaving this island when they want,""That's what they made you guys believe, that's what they want you to believe, haven't you wondered why some of the people that leave never come back here? I mean a lot of them, they get taken away and new people are brought here, you may not have noticed but once you leave t
Ruby was becoming impatient, they have been talking for over one hour now, she didn't want to be rude and walk in on them but the more she sat here the more inpatient she becomes and the more scared she is, in the past one hour plus, she has made sure baby Kristen is fed and the little one was currently sleeping, she has gained a lot of baby weight and was looking very healthy, she also checked on Annette's son and he was doing fine too, thankfully nothing bad happened to him, now she sat in her office and there was nothing she could do than to wait for Liam to be done."Taking forever,"She muttered to herself as she got off her seat, she couldn't just sit here and wait forever, she checked on Kristen before she went to the door, she opened it and found Liam standing there."Oh, Liam, you guys are done?"She asked as she walked back in with him following her, he didn't say a word just sat down with a long face."What's going on Liam? What did she tell you?"She asked worried, the exp
Liam followed behind Ruby as she ran towards God knows where, he wanted to tell her to just call the guy in question but she had been out before he could get the words out, she stopped at the reception breathing heavily while the confused nurse stared out her as she tried to calm herself down and get the words out, he saw just how much she was struggling and walked up to her, holding her hands."Ruby, calm down, you can talk when you are calm,"He said but she removed her hand from his and turned to the nurse again, the nurse had a worried look and was eagerly waiting for what she had to say, the senior nurse Sara walked in, at that moment and looked at them all."What's going on here? Doc? Are you okay?"She asked in a worried tone."I am not, Nathan,"Ruby said breathlessly."What about Nathan? Is he coming back here?""No, have we heard from Nathan since he left?"She let out, her voice finally back."Nathan? Yes, why?"Sara said and Liam let out a breath that he didn't even know h
"Trade, Luca, trade but it's not the kind of trade that we thought it was but this is worst,""How Liam? Go straight to the point will you?""They are trading humans, not just any humans, women and children,"He revealed going into details and telling him everything Annette had told him not leaving out a single detail and even adding some fitting to make it more of an emergency."That's the more reason for you to get out of there, I will send a plane over to meet you at the shore when the ferry arrived, there is supposed to be a ferry ride tomorrow right? Please come back home and we can talk about what we can do for them,"Luca said when Liam was done talking, it pissed him off, he was so close to losing his cool, Luca wasn't seeing anything he was saying, he was disregarding his words which were both disrespectful and annoying."Luca, I didn't call you because I want to come home, I called you to confirm some claims, and the next thing you think of is for me to come home? Did you ev
Ruby sat in Annette's ward, she couldn't risk leaving her on her own, she had instructed the others to call her if anything else needed her attention and was currently watching the woman sleep, she was so tired and needed to sleep too but she knew she would not get that sleep anytime soon, not when the chances of her leaving again were high, Liam was still not back and she wondered what's keeping him for so long, would his brother-in-law want him back, she hoped not, she didn't want him to leave and he already promised her that he won't leave them here but what if he doesn't have a choice, his job was totally different from hers so maybe there were rules that might make his staying here impossible, she wished he would just come back already and put her mind at ease.Annette was currently sleeping peacefully and Ruby wished she could fall asleep too but she had too much on her mind and she couldn't risk falling asleep either, at least not until Liam returns, Annette hadn't said a word
"My brother? He said he will make an inquiry and get back to me,"He disclosed."So does that mean it's okay for you to stay here with us?""Yes, it is and he is going to help, I think by the next ferry ride he might send someone else to join me, I don't know what he will choose to do yet until I talk to him again,"He explained. Ruby was already relieved by the fact that his brother was letting him stay."You look, tired lady, when last did you sleep?"Liam asked her touching her forehead, his hands were cold, and she closed her eyes for a moment, enjoying the feel of his hand, when she opened them again he was frowning at her."What?"She mouthed."You have a fever, you are not taking care of yourself, and that's not okay, you have to look out for yourself too Ruby, ain't no way a sick person gonna be able to attend to work properly, you should keep that in mind and take care of your health,"He scolded."Wow, calm down, no need for the lecture, it's not like I am not taking care of
One moment she was in Liam's arms having a great time and the next she was running to Annette's ward, hoping that she will be fine, she hurriedly opened the door, met Sara and trying to talk to her, she quickly put on a glove, and stepped in, she wasn't looking good at all, she checked her pulse, it was almost unresponsive, her heart rate on the monitor was not doing great either."What happened here?""She is refusing to take anything, and is not telling us what's going on, her heart rate is not even, it keeps going up and coming down, I think she is going to go into a shock, can you help?"She didn't wait to be told twice, she step closer to her."Annette, what happened?""Not you doc, I don't have much time, I want to speak to the man, please, please,"She said, at first Ruby didn't understand what she said but when she turned, her eyes met with Liam and she understood but didn't think it was right for her to let her talk to him now, they have to make sure she was okay first, that
Liam ran behind her, he should have thought of the kid's ward too, but he had forgotten in all the haste, he just hope they were all gone, at least ten children were in there and they made a big mistake leaving them there and the children ward was too far from the Ward where Annette had been, he still couldn't believe that she was no more, he felt like he failed her, he failed her, failed to give her freedom and now she was dead, but he promised himself that he won't let her just die in vain, he would make sure to catch the people involved in this and bring them to face justice for all their crimes and also, he would make sure her young son gets to be with her family too.Ruby opened the door to the children's ward and he held his breath and walked in behind her, she was breathing heavily as she checked on the children and collapsed on the ground a few moments later, he ran to her and knelt beside her, she was a crying mess, he didn't know the actual number of children in the room so
