Chapter 10
The Market Place
Tariq got the minivan ready for them, driving to a halt just outside the orphanage. He had made sure to check the minivan and fill the tank with gas the night before, as well as checking the oil and fluid levels since it would be dangerous to stop in the middle of the road for those provisions. Tariq opened the doors of the minivan for Sarah and Joshua to come in. Without their expectation, Alima ran up to Joshua pleading for them to take her with them.
"Please, take me with you. Please, I've never been to the market," Alima pleaded. "I want to know what they sell there."
"It may not be prudent for a young little princess like you, dear," Sarah turned her down.
"Oh, please, please," she pleaded on and on.
Saadia was standing outside, staring at them.
