the tears streaming down her face before she walked outside and squatted on the ground. He turned to look at her struggling to control her emotions and still wasn’t sure what he was looking at, but a part of him knew it wasn’t what it seemed. He sent the image of the room to Grai, hoping the man would help him figure it out.
The long string of curses that erupted from Grai made Reven step a little closer to the bed to get a better look. The baby was cuddled up to the chest of the older child, who held her hands protectively around the baby. Curled on their sides in the middle of the bed, they looked so small and frail. What he could see of them anyway.
Whichever child that had the camouflage ability, didn’t have enough energy to be as thorough and scattered portions of their bodies were visible while the rest blended perfectly with the ugly cover on the bed.
The clothes on the older child were a little tight on her, but from what he could see, her ribs were visible through the shirt and her arms were even smaller than he’d first thought.
Her legs were covered in what appeared to be half pants, and he couldn’t understand why they would have bought half pants for the child. They covered her from her waist to just above her knees, while the baby was covered from head to toe in a big shirt, pants and socks.
On the bed, near the baby, Reven could see the cheeseburger wrapper spread out neatly and what looked to be mashed food laid out in different wads of color on the paper. He wasn’t sure what the hell it was until Grai finally stopped cursing and issued orders for the transport to be brought.
“The child was chewing up the food for the baby, so she could eat it. She didn’t know what the baby food was that you bought or even what to do with it. She did the only thing she knew to do to feed her sister. It does not appear the girl had a chance to eat for herself before she fell to exhaustion.” Grai said with a catch in his voice.
“She’s also wearing the pants and shirt that was bought for her sister. She is so malnourished that she can fit in the same size pants her sister is wearing.” Grai said, his anger and fear for the child coming through clearly.
Now that he knew what he was looking at, Reven felt sick. He leaned down to breathe away the thoughts of what the girl must have been through and tried to calm himself.
He was startled when he felt Jax’s hand on his arm. Looking into her beautiful eyes, he could see her own tears shimmering in them. Reven gently covered her hand with his own for a moment and gave her an encouraging squeeze before he took a deep breath.
“The transport will be here shortly. Grai doesn’t give a shit if some night clerk at a motel reports a UFO, and neither do I.” Reven told Jax through their private path, so he wouldn’t wake the girls.
Jax nodded her head and sat on the edge of the other bed in the room and watched the children intently, her eyes missing none of the details.
“She fed the baby, but was too tired to eat. She doesn’t look like she’s eaten in a very long time.” Jax said as a sob caught in her throat.
Reven went to her and put a comforting arm around her shoulders as he sat heavily beside her. “We will make damn sure they never know this life again. I promise you.” Reven said, his determination to protect and care for his new family bleeding through his energy.
Jax just nodded her head, wishing they had the children back at MedLab already. She looked up at Reven when their teams told them the transport was ready to de-cloak.
She stared into his beautiful blue eyes and nodded her head at him. He was not only bigger and stronger, but he had already developed a slight connection with the frightened child. Reven nodded back and moved quietly to the side of the bed and looked down at the child who hadn’t moved an inch since they had come in the room.
