She suddenly jumped from him. “No! No needles. They hurt!” her little girl voice squealed.

“Ok, this back and forth thing is going to drive me insane. Where did my big girl go? I need you to help me and cooperate. It will help us find out where you’ve been or where you might have been going. I’ll be gentle, I promise. You need to trust me.”

“But they hurt!”

“Let Daddy take care of you. Please. Then we need to apologize to Kathy.”

“But…”

“Isn’t yours sore enough right now? Or do I need to reinforce myself?’ Lance asked sternly. “Come sit down. Carefully. There’s my girl. Look away… I’m pretty good at this.” Noelle squeezed her eyes shut as he drew her blood. He popped off the tourniquet and then removed the needle before kissing her temple. “That’s a good girl. I didn’t hurt you now, did I?”

“Not as bad as the spanking,” she admitted, watching him put a band-aid on her arm, followed by the wrap and a kiss on the spot. “I’m sorry I’m such a bad girl, Daddy.” There it was. With Bunny in her arms and a little pout to her lower lip, she had slipped back into the role of child so naturally he didn’t know it was coming. He wondered if she had a touch of schizophrenia, yet she was unlike any of such cases he had ever dealt with.

“Noelle? Do you know that you go back and forth between being a big girl and a little one? Is it something you can control?”

“I don’t know, Daddy. If I try real hard, I think I can be a big girl, but it makes me too tired.”

“Ok, right now, don’t think about it. We’ll let things happen and see where they go. I’m just afraid that you may have had some damage that I didn’t detect after you were hit on the head.”

“I didn’t get hit on the head. I fell down.”

“Fell down? You told me you fell after the men yelled at you and you were shot.”

“Yes, Daddy. But I fell down before and hit my head on something hard ‘cuz I didn’t know how to walk. I woke up and saw the yellow sign.”

She didn’t know how to eat either. Curiouser and curiouser, Todd’s words echoed in his head. Further, most of her motor skills and communication she seemed to learn by watching and listening. It was as though she arrived at the hospital a blank slate, with the ability to acquire and integrate information at an inconceivable rate. Maybe Todd was right. Maybe she was an alien.

Oh God, what was he thinking? Way too many movies. This was too much to take in right now.

“Ok, I need to get this to the lab. You are to stay in your room until I get home and then you’ll go down to say you’re sorry to Kathy. I want you to think about why you were punished while I’m gone.”

“Yes, Sir,” Noelle said sadly, looking down and fidgeting uncomfortably in her place on the bed.
