Chapter 10: Home.
-
Tammy takes a couple of days to relax from what was said and done to her at the embassy by Agent Dole. She did manage to get the forms filled and mailed. It was a matter of waiting for a response. Net access at the library has turned up nothing.
December 1st, she gets a letter from the ambassador apologizing for what had happen at the embassy and has advised her that Agent Dole has been reprimanded for his actions with a suspension. December 10, a representative from the IRAS arrives to her home in Milan. Tammy walks to meet the representative outside the house. He hands her a sealed millennia folder.
"Come walk around the block with me.", he tells her. Tammy decidesto go with him. "Last time anyone heard from your sister Bink, she was at Milan National General Hospital. She was badly injured and raped. Her arm and both legs were shattered as if with a heavy object and she was shot at least twice according to the medical files. Her shattered limbs were amputated.", he points to the folder.
"Where is she now?", Tammy asks.
"She was in the hospital for three months recovering. During this time she was told of what happened, and tried to kill herself. Its all on the file.", he tells her. "From there meetings with the Polanccos went down hill and they refused to accept her back into the family. So she was to be placed in an orphanage. The Social Work Agency picked her up and that was the last anyone heard from her."
"Social Work Agency?", Tammy asks.
"They are an agency tied in medical research and public safety. They are headquartered in Rome, but shares offices with hospitals and public safety with the police through out Italy. That is all I know and can give you. Their brochure is in the envelope. You can find their webpage on the Internet.", he tells her.
"Anything else you can do?", Tammy asks.
"Well, if the SWA has her, we can request that they release her over to you as her only living relative. But that is all.", he answers.
"Alright.", she says.
"You go back home. I'm heading back to the office.", he says.
Tammy only nods her head, and then watches him walk away. She turns around and walks back to her rented room.
Back on her bed she opens the folder and pours the contents onto the covered mattress. She goes over various pages and pictures, x-rays shows broken bones and a bullet somewhere in her body. All the reports were in Italian but mention her by name. She puts back the papers in order and puts them back in the folder.
