"Looks as if we'll be heading to Georgia before too long," Thomas said as he stalked out of his office.
"So soon?" Desai asked as he took a seat beside her. "Earendel? What's wrong?"
"Production here in London has been shut down; they are moving everything to Georgia."
Tom, Desai, and Jack looked around as Diana and James came in arguing with each other. "And I told you I heard something! I don't give a damn what the security service said! There is something out there! I am not imagining things!"
"James, Tom checked with them there was nothing on the cameras!"
Desai looked at Tom then at James as she passed the baby to Thomas so he could burp Sophia she cleaned her breast and fastened her bra. "Da' would you please ..."
"Why?! No one believes a goddamn thing I say!"
She finished her sentence gently, "Show me where you heard the noise. Cameras don't always pick up everything."
His voice softened, "I'm sorry daughter."
"It's not a problem Da'." She gave him a hug. "Let's go," she said softly following him outside.
They walked in silence around the house stopping when they came to the window of James's room. She motioned for him to stop when she saw some tracks, "What the fuck?" she mumbled lowly. "Deer? Here?" she moved the shrubbery to see two very large and frightened dark brown almost black eyes looking at her. She squatted down and the small animal just ran right into her arms. It was a fawn she thought or the smallest deer she had ever seen.
She stood up with it in her arms and turned and James said in awe, "A Muntjac?"

Desai looked at him her face scrunched in confusion. "A muck what?"
"A Muntjac," he said more clearly. "And from the looks of it a fawn." He looked around, "I wonder where its mother is?"
"How did it get in?" she wondered aloud as the animal nuzzled her neck. "Never mind about that. Let's figure out what to do with you my darling."
James opened the door for her and when she walked in Thomas's eyes widened and he said, "No, fucking way," as he backed up next to the children's cribs. She only looked at him and smiled as she passed him and went directly to the kitchen. "What are you doing?!" he boomed as he shuddered.
