"Welcome, my dear!" a voice said.
Michiko, startled, turned around to find the speaker, but there was no one there.
"Who are you? Where are you?" she asked frantically.
"That's not important. Don't you want to know why you are her?"
Michiko fell silent. She desperately wanted to know that information,so she figured silence was the best way to answer.
"That's right. I know everything you want to know about your situation. In fact, I'm the one in charge of the whole operation." the voice said with a laugh.
"Please, just let me and my brother go home,"
"Why, my dear child, I can't do that. You see, it would be bad for business. I was hired by a wealthy family as their 'adoption agent' so to speak. Basically my job is to find families with a questionable history and take their children and give them to the family I was hired by. It's quite simple: I give hem the children, they give me the money. Now you may be thinking 'But my parents never did anything wrong!' but you would be wrong. So very, very wrong. How well do you think you know your parents? Because I can guarantee you that you don't know them as well as you think."
The voice cuts off, leaving Michiko alone with her thoughts in the room.
