Life Blood --IV---Page 15



"Right." Jesus, Arlene, I think he might have had one. "So let's get moving."
As I watched the vans being loaded, slowly calming down, I kept thinking about him. He was undoubtedly connected to the phone call, but why would anybody be so worried about what I was doing? I couldn't think of any serious reason.
Half an hour later we were all headed downtown. Along the
rain-swept streets the "All Beef" hot-dog vendors cowered under
their red-and-yellow striped umbrellas, while departing office
workers, briefcases perched above their heads as makeshift
protection, scurried along the edges of buildings searching for
cabs. While Arlene continued to chat nonstop, I tried to do a little
mental processing. And my mind kept drifting back to the sight of
little Rachel, and Kevin. What perfect kids. The way she was
running. . .
Hey, wait a minute. How could they be siblings? Brother and sister? Rachel was almost exactly half a year older than Kevin. Biology didn't work that way. No way could they be related, but still . . . they looked so alike.
I realized Arlene hadn't put it together about the ages. The
brother/sister theory made absolutely no sense. Those kids were born six months apart.
If that wasn't strange enough, why did they both have those
tiny cat medallions with the lines and dots on the back? Which
were actually kind of creepy, more like sacred amulets than little
toys.
Talk to Lou. He might have some insights.
No, better yet, go to the source. Children of Light. Call Alex
Goddard's adoption agency or clinic or whatever it is and make an appointment.
