Michiko called out for the voice to speak again, but the silence continued throughout the room. Her head was spinning with all the information she had just been told. Surely that can't be true, Michiko thought. SHe knew her parents. They were hard working people that loved her and her brother THey were probably looking for them right now intact. That man had to be wrong. He didn't know what he was talking about, obviously.Michiko opens the door to he room to find the big man who had brought her there waiting.
"Come." he said.
"I'm not going anywhere until I get more answers," she said stubbornly.
"You will not receive any now."
Michiko still didn't budge. The man, seeing this as a nuisance, heaved Michiko onto his shoulder and carried her back to her brother. Her three her into the chair with a thud and walked away grumbling. Chokichi stirred and opened is eyes. There were tears in his eyes.
"Where you go Michi? I thought they take you too like momma and papa." he said in Japanese.
He started crying and Michiko held him in her arms to comfort him. He kept a death grip on her arm, as if his whole world would come crashing to an end if he ever let go.
