Lindsey sat up on the bunk beds as the man removed the blindfold from her eyes.
She looked at him and smiled
"Hi" she said to him
The man did not answer, he proceeded to sit at the desk by the bed and complete a crossword puzzle
"My Dad likes to do those, well he's not my real dad but, I still call him dad sometimes." She paused and watched the man as he fumbled with a question " Are you having trouble, my dad says when you have trouble leave it alone for awhile and then come back to it" she looked at the man up and down " Your supposed to answer when someone asks you a question, I learned that in Kindergarten" she looked at him again "What is that on your arm is it a-" the man cut her off and in a stern voice scolded her
"No talking, just sit there and be quite"
She looked at him again
"Are you going to hurt me, because my mommy knows the police and she would-" he cut her off again
"Kid please just shut up"
Lindsey looked at him and made a sad face
"Sorry" she whispered
He felt bad for her and responded
"Are you scared? Don't be I am not going to hurt you or your mom, it is complicated but you will get to go home soon I promise" he paused and then threw her a blanket " you looked tired, get some sleep, we have a long day ahead of us"
Lindsey smiled at him, she believed him and she took the blanket and laid down
"Thank you sir"
Lindsey closed her eyes
