Meeting up with Charlie at the station calmed Ariel’s nerves down. The simplicity of the man and his stories made her feel carefree and childish again. Since the station was her last stop, she took her time, listening to local gossip.
“So did you hear about the new family?” Charlie asked her. She stiffened, remembering the encounter from earlier.
“Yes, I met Dr. Cullen earlier.”
“How is he? He sounds like an ok guy to me. He adopted all of those kids…” She started thinking, were they like the doctor? Did they have eyes like his? She immediately shooed this thought away, if they were adopted, then they wouldn’t have any similar characteristics since they were not from the same genes.
“How many?”
“Five. All teenagers too.”
“Wow, five?” another police officer butted in.
As the conversation carried on between them, Tawariell realized that she would need to report this to the council. Tonight.
She stood up and collected her basket. “Sorry, I just… have a lot of homework tonight, I got to go.”
“See ya tomorrow kiddo.” Charlie said with a bunch of other goodbyes from other officers.
