"My name is Alex," she told her and sat down on a stool near her. "Dominic
would you mind making me some herbal tea?" She looked back at the little
girl and then and Derek and Julia in confusion. "Did she come with Anya?"
Derek shook his head and added for Alyssa's benefit "This is the friend I
was telling you about."
Then to Alex "We're trying to find her mother now, Philip is working on it.
But for now we need to find her something to wear and Julia has to get back
to the project she was on."
He looked at her from an angle, thankfully Alex being the only one that
could see and know what kind of look he had. One of near unbelievable
panic. A thought continued to echo through his head; what if they couldn't
find the girl's mother? She had, after all, been dumped in HIS bed.
