The Wizard & The Wanted Girl

Part 15

So Sarah now has a job in Mykonos. This is a good start to her new single life. She's a mother, and now a working women. Sarah had never really had a proper job ever before, let alone a Muggle job. Sarah knew that doing Muggle jobs would have disadvantages, such as not being able to cheat her way through her daily tasks but she didn't mind it. She did, after all, pretend to be a Muggle for some time before Gellert Grindelwald realised she was lying. To be honest, she hasn't really thought much of Gellert since yesterday. She's to busy looking after Richard and Lexi to worry about what her ex boyfriend is doing. Although, now she was sat doing nothing but knitting, her mind did wonder about Gellert. She wondered what time he woke up this morning, was he safe? Did he go back to Saint-Tropez to find her but found her gone? Did he get caught? Is he with Felix? Her heart started beating faster. While she was lost in thought of her ex boyfriend she started Knitting faster and faster. The only thing that broke her out of her deep daydream was Richard crying. He was probably hungry again, it was now Lunch time.

"It's ok Richard, mummy with feed you when we get home."

Sarah also realised that she was getting her next food delivery from Mildred tomorrow so she had to make sure Richard didn't eat all of the food until then.

Richard continued to cry. "Mama..."

This was the first proper thing Richard had said since Sarah has known him.

"It's ok Richard, I promise... and when daddy apologises he can come home and look after us so I don't need to work."

The younger lady came over to Sarah while she was trying to settle Richard.

"Hello!" She said. She had a Greek accent but seemed like she knew English well enough.

"Hi." Said Sarah. "I'm sorry about my son, I don't think he likes the heat."

"Oh it's ok, I was the same when I came here, I was about his age when my mother brought me here...anyway, what brings you here?"

"Oh well..." Sarah hadn't really thought of a lie to say to people if they asked her questions. She assumed she wouldn't meet many English speaking people so it never occurred to her that this question would come up in conversation. "I felt like I wanted a bit of a holiday and Greece seemed like the best place, haha."

"Oh well Greece is lovely for that. How old is your little boy?"

"His 2...It was his 2nd birthday on....the...1st of ...September." Sarah lied, only because she panicked. She chose September 1st cause that was when everything changed from ok to really bad.

"Aw how sweet. My baby boy is 2 next week, and my older son is 15."

Sarah quickly did the maths and realised that if her older son is 15 then the lady must be older than 30.

"Wow, 15...you don't look old enough."

"Ah, well. I had him when I was 16." She came close to Sarah to whisper. "Teenage pregnancies aren't a good thing around here...I had to pretend he was my brother until I was 18 so I didn't get thrown out of school."

"Ah I see. Are you a single mother then?"

"Yes and no, I was a single mother with my oldest child but then I met a new man 4 and a half years ago and now we're married."

"Oh alright, I'm currently single but it's quite complicated really." Sarah said. "How come your English is so good?"

"My Father and Grandparents are American so I learn from them. It's just my mother who is Greek."

Just as she said that her mother walked into the room. "Anastasía, stamatíste na tis miláte kai voithíste me na metríso to apóthema... Anastasia, stop talking to her and help me count the stock."

"Entáxei, syngnómi mamá... OK, sorry mum." Before she left though she introduced herself. "I'm Anastasia Gillwood, by he way." She held her hand out for Sarah to shake it.

Sarah introduced herself and shuck Anastasia's hand.

After Anastasia left, Sarah and Richard were alone again but after a while Anastasia returned and this time she was holding her baby boy and some clothes for Richard.

"Here, these are my sons old ones...He is pretty big for his age so he has already grown out of age 2 clothes so you can have them."  She passed Sarah a couple shirts and a couple pairs of shorts for Richard.

"Aw, thank you...Isn't this cool Richard?" Richard crawled over to Sarah and grabbed one of the T-shirts and tried to put it over his head.

Both Sarah and Anastasia laughed at him. Anastasia then put her baby on the floor beside Richard and they began to play with each other.

"This is my little boy, his called Deacon."

Richard and Deacon hugged which made both mothers really emotionally.

"Where abouts do you live Sarah?"

"I live about 10 minutes away, near the start of the path that leads you to the market outside."

"Ah cool, I live upstairs, with my mother, father, husband and 2 sons. It's a bit of a squeeze but I like it." Said Anastasia.

The rest of Sarah's first day of work went by pretty quickly. She ended up knitting 5 scarves.

"Hey Anastasia, I was just wondered...before I go I wanted to ask, when will I get paid?"

"You can call me Annie for short and You'll get paid tomorrow lunch time. My mother will sell the things you produced the day before and will give you 50% of the profits after they are sold."

"Ok good. Thank you for telling me and thank you for giving Richard Deacon's old clothes."

"No problem, I'll see you tomorrow."

Sarah left the shop and rushed home before it got too dark. After she put Richard to sleep that night she turned on the radio in the living room and listened to it. Unfortunately most of the programmes this time of night were only News related. The News was very boring, there was a Greek news station talking about the Greek Gods. There was a English station talking about The Royal Family, There was an American station talking about burgers and a French station talking about the invention of baguettes and how great they are. Sarah giggled to herself and went to bed. She left the radio on by accident but it was only on a low volume so she didn't worry about it waking Richard up.

At about 3:00am French time there was a BREAKING NEWS story.

"Bonjour à tous et bienvenue dans The News. Quelque chose d'horrible s'était produit récemment. Une employée d'une prison française a fait kidnapper son petit garçon. Il a été vu pour la dernière fois portant un t-shirt rayé bleu et blanc et un petit short marron. Si vous avez vu le garçon, veuillez contacter la police. Il y aura des affiches publiées demain avec le visage des garçons. Les informations seront mises à jour demain à 7h00.... Hello all and welcome to The News. Something horrible had happened recently.

Sarah did not hear this as she was asleep but someone did, Gellert Grindelwald did.
