“I don’t know, Fatma.”
We were walking back to the stairs, and the girls were lined again on my back. Before we could reach the half of the stairs, Abigail grunted as Agnes, accidentally stepped on her long winter cloak. I turned to give them light, but I also lit the hall where the stairs ended. And I caught a familiar figure walking away.
“Hold this.” I handed the lamp to Fatma, “Fatma take Edith back in the room. Agnes and Abigail search for Sister Ana, and be careful.” No one dared ask what was happening.
