25 December 1999

'Good evening Adam.'  Adam looked up as he saw one of his co-workers , Zachary have worry washed all over his face. Sorrow was in his voice and yet another child in his arms.

'How old?' He was far too used to this situation and the paperwork never seemed to end.

'One and a half. Our local police station called the center saying they found her abonded in the alleyway near them.'Adam looked at the little girl who was slightly squirming in Zachary's arms. Zachary had given her a small teddy bear to keep her distracted.

'Oh dear... Put her in the third section and tell the social workers that we have another baby with us.' Adam mumbled getting a new folder ready.

'I mean it's not like we get a lot kids here... Mystic has a population of 4,000 something and there are only 300 kids here.' Zachary put the girl on the floor as another social worker came , taking her to the section.

'I know... I know but it hurts to know that parents dont want these kids. I mean we had another kid dropped in here but his mother dropped him off.' Adam rubbed his face , remembering the memory.

'Really? Who was it?' It was common for everyone to know eachother in Mystic.

'No this lady isn't from Mystic... I think she's from Meriden or something. Anyways her name is Karen Clifford and the boy's name is Michael who is also a year and a half old.' Adam read the paperwork he was close to finishing.

'Said she didn't have enough funds to support the child.' Adam said to a devastated Zachary.

'That's gonna be Mystic's gossip for a long time... If I wasn't 55 years old I would adopt one of these poor kids.' Zachary sat on a chair across Adam's desk.

'Yeah I know... But trust me they are better off without those idotic parents of their's.' Adam said opening the folder.

'Who would abandon their child on Christmas?' Zachary mumbled as Adam tried to avoid the subject.

'Oh we don't know the girls name do we?' Adam said looking towards Zachary.

'No the police dont either. Dont know where her parents lived and the girl cant talk much.' Zachary said realising they had to pick a name.

'What should we name her? We probably shouldn't pick a surname orignating in Mystic?' Adam said opening up the internet searching for some surnames.

'How about Charlie? If I had a daughter I would name her that. It could go either girly or tomboy. It's up to her personality.' Zachary said as Adam nodded his head.

'Charlie Marshall it is.'

Charlie looked around the empty dorm as all of the other girls and boys were in the downstairs domain , opening their presents that the local's donated.
