Paige stood up. This girl must have some imagination, unless she was being truthful. It didn't seem likely, but she told the story with pride. He looked down at her again. "Do you have somewhere to stay?" He asked Chiru. "Where do you go to sleep at night, where is your home?" He needed to find where this girl lived and bring her there, if she needed him to walk her home.

Gale asked a bit surprised. What kind of parents would leave their child in a town on her own for so long? There was something odd about the girl's story.
