Inside a woman asked questions to Girl and Boy, About their lives and some other things.

"Sweety how old are you and what's your name?" She asked Girl.

She nodded.

"And for you? Age and name."

"Twelve, Boy."

"Why are you guys so.. Skinny?" The police officer looked us up and down.

"They don't feed us." Girl said.

Boy looked at her in shock.

"Who doesn't feed you?"

Girl pointed at Malinda sitting on the couch sipping tea.
