"She'd like you to take her hand." How could he possibly know that? She didn't say, mumble, or whisper anything to the man. Plus, she didn't want to touch the girls hand, she was too afraid to but, she knew she had to. Closing her eyes for a moment, she took a deep breath -not too loud but, enough for her to know that she did. Hesitantly touching the girls arm, she told herself to calm down, and don't think of anything else but, the situation she was in at the moment.

My name is Elsie. First, I apologize for my father's dramatics. Second, I apologize for my inability to speak— I'll have a whiteboard in a minute, if you'd like to have a more coherent conversation. Third, and most importantly, I'll be answering any questions you might have now that you've all accepted our offer. The girl glanced at the group with a small, polite smile. As for 'who the Hell I am,' all you'll need to know, moving forward, is that I'm to monitor and document your progress to ensure your safety over the course of the next few weeks... or months, depending on how long this takes. As you well know, nothing comes for free, and in exchange for your own safety, we request that you perform a number of tasks for us to cover various... fees. She paused, glancing up at the ceiling, trying to find the next few words. And, as it happens, the very first is right here in San Francisco. How do you all feel about heading to a party tonight?

She was a little surprised at how the girl could communicate but, she assumed that the girl did have some type of gift as well. She thought this whole situation was just going by so fast but, she really wasn't bothered by it. She was bothered by a lot of things but, those things were scrambling around in her head she couldn't really think of them one by one.

Remembering about the party,"I thinks that's cool." Whatever she had to do tonight she'll do it, just to keep her family and friends safe. Plus, she hadn't really been in a party mood lately and she wanted to change that. Looking over at everyone, she thought this was a very weird little group and she didn't mind getting to know them either. But, right now she wanted to see what she had gotten herself into.
