    Natalie suddenly asked the question.

    Chris paused, then said, “Yes – dwarfs do exist. Even after twenty years they can stay the same height. It depends on when their growth stopped and whether they’d already reached their full height.”


    Hearing that, Natalie felt as if a light had switched on in her head.


    “A dwarf? How did I miss that possibility?” she breathed.


    No wonder Anna had felt so odd; she’d been thinking in a fixed way. At first Natalie had simply assumed Anna was a five- or six–year–old, so she never considered other exnations. But what if Anna wasn’t really a child? What if her height and face made her look five or six, while in fact she was an adult? That would exin a lot about her manner and expression.


    –


    no, don’t rely on <i>that </i>“Chris, check for anyone named Anna among the dwarfmunity- name; it could be fake. Search for anyone of that description.” Natalie kept a careful mind.


    While the surveince yed, she had quietly taken a clip on her phone. Anna’s face wasn’t perfectly clear, but it was something to work with.


    Chris frowned as he watched the footage Natalie handed him. A flicker of recognition crossed

    Natalie’s heart leapt. “You’ve seen her? Do you know her?”


    Chris shook his head. “No, I don’t know her. But I swear I’ve seen that face before. Give me a moment to think.” <fnb99b> Checktest chapters at fin?novel</fnb99b>


    Natalie let him concentrate, not interrupting. Anna had clearly targeted Susie and then vanished- Natalie had to find her.


    Minutes passed and Chris’s frown deepened. “My mind’s nk for now. I can’t put my finger on it…”


    “It’s okay,” Natalie said, disappointed but understanding. It wasn’t Chris’s fault. If a lead appeared, great; if not, they would keep digging.


    “Let’s go see Baron. The police should be arriving soon,” Natalie decided, putting the thought aside for the moment.


    Chris looked apologetic but, unable to recall, apanied her to the hospital.

    Susie, exhausted from the tests, had fallen asleep curled against Baron’s leg, Scan sat nearby, drowsy as well.


    When Natalie and Chris entered, they found Baron gently patting Susic and soothing Sean a picture of a father and his children. Her racing heart calmed.


    “Baron, Sean, Susie fell asleep?” Natalie asked softly as she approached.


    Baron blinked at her. “You came? Is everything okay?” He nced at Chris.


    Chris quickly summarized the kindergarten events.


    Natalie looked at Susie and asked in a whisper, “Is she physically all right?”


    Baron nodded. “She’s fine, though there’s still a bit of residual toxin in her system. More water and rest will help. The blood test results might be evidence showing Anna harmed Susie.”


    He didn’t seem concerned about helping with the investigation – only firm about protecting his family.


    Natalie lifted Susie into her arms. The child, stirred by her mother’s scent, nestled deeper into the crook of her arm and slept on.


    Baron exined the drug’s effect had left her fatigued. Natalie’s chest ached with anger.


    –


    “Who would do this to such a small child? Our Susie hardly mingles with others — it’s infuriating.”


    Baron’s face tightened. “I’ll find out. Whoever harmed my daughter will pay.”


    At that moment the police arrived.


    “Mr. Gunn, good afternoon. We’re from the XXX police station. Regarding the case of the teacher who was assaulted and is now unconscious, we need you to cooperate with our investigation.”


    “Of course,” Baron replied.


    He nced at Chris and said quietly, “Take care of my wife and the children and bring them home safely. I have a digital copy of the blood test; we’ll have the paper version deliveredter.”


    “Understood,” Chris answered.


    Natalie felt uneasy and gripped Baron’s sleeve. “I’ll have my brother get you awyer
