"How is it going?" Kai asked in his cold voice to the man in a black suit standing in front of him. He was looking at the report from the finance department.

"The northern side is clear, we are searching in the east and west areas. The report will come in a week.

After clearing these areas then we will move to the southern direction as it has a vast number of orphanages and shelter homes." The buff man replied in his cold voice.

"Are we short on men working for us?" Kai spat coldly.

"As you ordered, we are even tracking all the children that came to the orphanages from the year 2009-2011. That takes a lot of information and we are..."

Kai put his elbows on the table and linked his fingers together looking coldly at the man.

"I don't want to listen to excuses. If needed use more men. I want London cleared within a month."

"Yes, Boss." The man replied in a monotonous tone.

"Leave," Kai said and turned towards the floor-to-ceiling window.

His emotionless eyes looked out at the bright city.

He rested his head on the backrest of the comfortable swivel chair and closed his eyes.

Just as he closed his eyes. The scene of the girl running away replayed in his mind.

Her brown wavy hairs swayed as she hurriedly ran out. She was small.

His mind then replayed the scene when the girl supported, another boy who was probably injured, out. When she herself was falling.

Heh

A little thing she was.

Alas! he couldn't see her face. He was only able to see her little body swaying left to right barely managing to drag herself and the boy out.

He didn't knew if it was a coincidence or not.

But he couldn't get the image of the girl specifically the girl's back out of his head.

Savannah tightened the shawl around her. The weather was changing. It was very cold now a days.

Her laptop was open showing the school forum.

She had pulled a little trick and removed the post completely from the forum.

Everything related to the post even hashtags everything disappeared.

There is a possibility..NO... this thing would surely attract even more attention and curiosity but she couldn't bare to leave a picture of her on the school forum even if its only half her face and back but still if anyone looked at her keenly.

Her getup would be for nothing.

It's better this way.

Mr. Hudson gave Anna a questioning and then a stern look when he saw her coming home in her hoodie and on her scooty.

Sigh..

He was home today.

Every day brings a new problem for Anna.

Savannah sighed and went to bed. She looked at her wound. It was hideous. It looked ugly with scabs and ointment tube on it.

Savannah thought that it will be better if she continued school after complete recovery.

That boy has seen her face bare and now if she went to school he could easily recognise her.

So, She decided to continue with school after her wound has healed and this plaster is taken off of her hand.
