"Monday. That means tomorrow we can go shopping," was his reply."We???" I asked"Yes! We."I was sorely disappointed with the word ?we?.I knew it was fo... my own good. You can figure. How much trouble asixteen year-old girl could get into with an unlimited credit card inNew York City.As a joke, I asked. "I wonder how much will it cost for me to buyBloomingdale's."I just got a glare in return."I was just kidding," I told him. "I?m looking for just one outfit."Let?s say that shopping the next day. . which he skipped.He figured you'd save him. That's when he was fired."Martin wiped sweat from his brow. "...and... your point?" While you were writing your report and reviewing security footage, Johncaught Maggie in a surveillance-free lab. He knew she'd been involvedwith you and just came from your office. He thought the game was up andhis life was over. He had nothing to lose. He was also pretty coked-up. He injected her with a set of test samples, fully expecting her todie. She. There was nothing for her, back there. Talk of subsidies, talk of loans, slim possibilities, the suggestion, the shadow of hope, rather than hope itself.Try it.Come east.Come to the city of possibilities, however nebulous, of hope, however slim and without foundation.And now, looking around, she sees that the city has drawn her to it like a vacuum.She has been attracted, moved by a nothingness, an emptiness even greater than that she left behind, she sees.Because there is no clue here, no. I couldn't figure out why she would want to, but I told Kara I'd call in at the hospital and see her after I had picked up Leanne from the nursery. Leanne knew who Dawn was from my explanations of how and why I'd come looking for her.When we got into the ward, Dawn was looking a real mess. That pretty face of hers was bruised and swollen."Oh, Mr. Shaw, I'm so ashamed and sorry, I let you down. You worked so hard to prevent this from happening." Dawn exclaimed as we walked in.I really didn't.
