“We should have been the ones to go there,” Amelia said to her husband, Lorenzo, one night.

“I was just passing by,” the girl explained to us, “when I overheard them say…”

“They’re going to use it against us. Makoto shouldn’t have trusted them. Just because they act under one company doesn’t mean they’re really on the same side. I can’t believe she picked them over us. I won’t let her get away with it that easy.”

“Dear, we can’t pull out now. It’s too dangerous, our children are too young,” Lorenzo said, gripping Amelia’s shoulders. They looked at the files on a table in front of them. “We can’t use this.” He picked them up and tossed them into the burning fire in the living room. “We need to burn all traces of us working against them. They’ll come after us, take away our inheritance, our company, our shares. We can’t let them do that. We have no choice but to comply.”

“I can help,” the girl said, coming out of her hiding. “Take me there. I’ll live with them, and take them down from the inside. I can be your eyes, like that bird.”

“She’s right,” Amelia sighed. “It’s time.”

“It’s too dangerous,” Lorenzo disputed.

“It’s what you’ve trained me for,” I said. “They’ll raise me like their own. They won’t even notice. Use me.”

Amelia hugged the girl. “We took you in as our own,” she said. “You were just a little girl left at our door step, all alone and scared. Now, you’re almost an adult; you’re old enough to make your own decisions. If this is really what you want, fine, but remember, we’re your real family. Whatever the Kan tell you or try to do to you, they will never be your family.”

“Are you sure? We can talk about this.” Lorenzo caressed the girl’s shoulder. I nodded and he hugged me. “A plane with our employees is taking off to New York tonight. You’ll have to go with them.”

“Will I get a chance to say goodbye?” the girl said.

“There’s no time,” Lorenzo urged. “We should go now if we want this to work.”

The girl peered into the dining room as she watched the two children eat and play with their food. Lorenzo placed a hand on her shoulder and they disappeared down a corridor.
