It was an unusually cold night in London. As Big Ben strikes it's twelfth chime, the cries of a newborn can be heard.
This child ,unbeknownst to the medical personnel, is the result of a heinous crime...
Nine months ago, a woman begins a leisurely stroll home from the neighborhood grocers. She looks both ways, as any educated woman would, and crosses the final street before reaching her doorway. While occupied with untangling the mass of keys and various other items in her purse, a man slips into her path. Looking up with a short lived grin of satisfaction from taming the wild beast that is her purse. She stops six feet short of the door. Panic engulfs her body causing a burst of adrenaline. She uses her adrenaline and makes a run for it, he follows staying close behind. As the race continues for block upon block she begins losing her rush. She sees a turn ahead and blindly follows the curve. It was a mistake. She has turned into a dead ended alley. Turning around she comes face-to-smarmy-face with her pursuer. Time seems to slow as she tries to find a way to escape this horrid fate. Nothing comes to mind.
"Shit."
The only sounds coming from the alley are the screams of a young woman and the cold laughter of a man as he takes her innocence in a most brutal way.
This is not how new life should be concieved, but it was.
...As the Umbilical Cord is cut, a well dressed man enters the delivery room. He pulls the doctor aside and the murmers of conversation can be faintly heard.
The woman is unconcious from the pain of childbirth. The man walks out with the doctor. Nurses begin their gossip almost immediately after the door is shut.
One swears she heard what was said. The baby will be taken with the man,a man of the government, and the mother will never get to set her gaze upon the beautiful child that she has brought to life.
However, she will get to name the girl. Hours later she awakens, is told to sign a paper, and name her baby. She is drugged and confused.
She choses the name Josephine Ophelia. The baby was soon adopted by a seemingly nice couple by the names of Rita and John Hayworth.
