I watch as police come in and out all day, and vans come to gather the children. Taking them to their new homes I'm going to miss them. "Hey, you ok". I hear Cory's voice from behind me "Yea I'm fine". "Really you seem sad". He sits beside me "Well kind of we have lived her for years". I look at him his face reads confusion "But... this place... it was horrible". He looks sad " I know but it's the only place that we know I can't help but feel a little sad". he puts his arm around me and pulls me into a hug " It's going to be ok Jess is going to look after us we are going to have a great life and make new friends". I can't help but smile he always knows just what to say. "I'll be right back I need to check on Max" and just like that he stood up and left me sitting on the stairs.
I stand up and go into the office it's be mostly cleaned out only a rug and a sofa left I sit on the sofa it's really soft. Someone walks in "oh hey sorry I didn't know anyone was in here I'm here to move the sofa but I guess you can help me" he must be one of the movers he seems friendly "ok" I jump up and go to the end of the sofa "Kev get out here and give me a hand with this" we hear from outside the door "ok Matt be right out" he looks to me "be right back and he left I look at the floor and see the rug I start to roll it up to help Kev I guess that's his name. I roll it up half way it looks like a hatch of some sort is under there. I keep rolling and the hatch is fully uncovered what is this I sit back down and wait from Kev what ever is down there Miss didn't want us to find it.
Five minutes later Kev returns "ok rea..." he stops "what's that?" he looks to me "I.. I don't know!" He looks concerned "have you opened it?" "No" he reaches for the handle and pulls it closer to him the dust falls from it that rug hasn't be there long. "What could it be?" I take a step onto the ladder that leads to inside "woh wait!" He reaches for me to stop me "why? I want to find out don't you?" He pulls back "I'll be right behind you" I nod slowly making my way down into the hatch. At the bottom there's a door I reach for the handle "wait!" Not again "what" "we don't know what's behind it" is he scared? "That's why I'm opening it" he stops "good point " I turn the handle and pull the door closer and let it go as I walk in I stop for what I see inside is not what i was expecting from behind me all I hear is "it's..... it's a girl!"
