"HAVE YOU TAKEN A LIKING TO ANY
Of the kids?"
"I really like that Esther boy. Such a cute name for a boy, don't you agree? And that Rylie Girl is so adorable and polite, if we adopt her she'll totally have to go to an all-girls school!" Anna continue to gush about the possibilities of her new child as they passed by the isolated child's door that was closed this visitation.
Johnny stopped by the door, awaiting to see if Anna took notice to his absence, but she didn't as she continued to talk about possible girls to adopt to the woman who was in charge. Johnny stared at the door, and without thinking, he pulled the sliding door open, his eyes instantly widening at the chaos that was behind it.
The fly head situation had gotten ten-times worse since last week, and the little girl did nothing but lay in her bed, her face facing the wall as if she was completely ignoring the flyheads that buzzed above her, crawled on top of her, and the ones that leaked out from her bed.
"Hey. Girl. Are you are awake?" He asked from the doorway. He felt kind rude addressing her by girl but apparently the orphanage didn't give her name, and it's not like he asked her the last time.
He hadn't got a reply, so he walked further into the room, swiping away at the flyheads that got in his way, until he hovered over her bed and was able to gently shake her awake. But the young girl didn't wake up, no matter how hard he shook her and it was long until he picked her up in her arms, running of the room and up the stairs to where the head lady was with his wife, Anna.
"Johnny where the hell have you be— huh? What are you doing with that child! I already told you, no, Johnny!" Anna hastily yelled out, but he ignored her.
Shit, did he take his pills today? He didn't think so.
"Miss. Sarai, she's not waking up, her breathing is very slow, so is her heartbeat, and she's burning up!" Johnny said with a pleading voice, almost as if he already known the outcome of this situation.
"Alright Mr. Hines, we'll call a doctor soon, for now please put her back in her room, you are disturbing the other kids." The lady in charge said with an affirmative voice, using her hands as an extra signal.
Johnny looked over at the kids all huddled in the corner, pointing and whispering at the little girl he held in his arms with such hostile, some cried while others yelled mean things no child should've said to another, and then his eyes glanced over at Anna, who continuously shook her head no. When he didn't listen, she sighed and play a fake smile, "Johnny did you take your pills today?"
