Kira: What did you say?
Blackwell: Lockhart has one more spy in my company. And it could be anyone
Kira: Any idea who?
Blackwell: No, but I know how I can start narrowing it down
The sounds of footsteps echo down the corridor as Lockhart's guards close in
Blackwell: It's time to go
Blackwell grabs her hand with a confident grip.
Blackwell: I spotted a backdoor route we can take. Come on!
It's close, but the two of them are able to give Lockhart's guards the slip.
Blackwell lets out a curse as the two of them make it safely back outside.
Blackwell: Another spy..
There are close to a hundred people in my employ, and the two most likely suspects have already been outedKira: Blaire and Mason
Blackwell: Whoever this is, they are smarter than either Blaire or Mason
Kira: We will find them
However before Blackwell can respond, the two of them are interrupted by the ringing of Kira's phone.
Kira (on the phone): Hey, Ethel, is everything ok?
Ethel: It's Tommy. I just... well, we could really use your help here
Kira: I will be right here
Kira doesn't need to explain the situation to Blackwell, he merely gives her a nod as she hangs up the call.
Blackwell: Let's move
The mood in the orphanage is gloomy as Kira and Blackwell make their way inside, Tommy nowhere to be seen.
Ethel: Kira! And Mr. Blackwell, Sir. Thank you both for coming
Kira: Ethel, is Tommy ok?
Ethel: Physically, yet, but emotionally...
For a long time, Tommy's best friend here was a bit named Milo. The two of them were inseparable. The other day though, Milo was adoptedKira: Isn't that good news?
Blackwell: Not if it means Tommy's left behind. Or at least, I'm sure that's how Tommy feels. It can be hard losing your only friend in a place like this
Ethel: He hasn't left his room since it happened. He's even been refusing meals. I'm worried about him, but he always seems to love your visits so much...
Kira: We will have a talk with him
Ethel: Thank you. Really
Tommy is laying on his bed, staring up at the ceiling as the two of them enter.
Kira: Tommy, how are you doing?
Tommy: I'm really sad. I know I should be happy for Milo, I just...
Blackwell: You miss your friend
Tommy: It's just really hard. I don't have a family, not a real one but for a while it felt like maybe Milo was my family.
But now he's gone, and I'm all alone againKira and Blackwell kneel down to move closer to Tommy.
Tommy: I just...I don't know what to do
Kira: A friend who goes away is always hard, and I know that, but it's important to realise you're not all alone
Blackwell: For one, Milo's not gone forever. I'm sure he will visit
Tommy: You think?
Blackwell: We can help get you his new parents address. Then you can send him letters whenever you want
