AFTER THE CHECKUP, MARIUSâ EYES DROPPED CLOSED, and me and Dr. Garcia left the room so he and the babies could get some rest.
âHe says he walked here?â Dr. Garcia said as we closed the bedroom door.
âI think he walked the last leg, took a train part of the way, maybe a bus. He came from Northwest Springs, so thereâs no way he couldâve walked all the way.â
âAnd he ended up in your barn?â
âI guess he couldnât make it all the way to The Welcome Center, even though he said it wouldâve been no use because he was told there werenât any rooms available.â
Mr. Jones walked over, biting his lip and shaking his head. âIf I knew ⦠his phone cut out ⦠I wouldâve taken him in at my house.â
âI think he went into labor before anyone could take him in,â I said, running my hand through my hair.
âAnd you said they artificially inseminated him against his will?â
I let out a heavy sigh. âYeah.â
âWe have to send a team out there. I thought things were under control. It sounds like itâs gotten worse.â Mr. Jonesâ shoulders dropped, and he scrubbed his palm over his face.
âI think they just took all the bad stuff underground, or maybe the people in charge just turned a blind eye.â
âMaybe when he feels up to it, he can give us some more details.â
âThanks for everything, Mr. Jones.â
