<strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Kairi Mido</span></strong><br/>___________________________<br/><br/><br/>Kairi stood there.  She had seen that look before.  She hadn't been on the streets for very long, but when you roam the places that are dark, you see people differently.  That was the look of someone who had seen something so awful, she would be haunted...for the rest of her life.  Kairi gave a shudder of fear.  What could be so horrible that Lita would rather be here.<br/><br/>Kairi was so distracted by her observation, she was slow to process Lita and Fatima's conversation.  Americans.  Kairi had wanted to go to America.  Now, according to Lita, she had earned a one way trip to where?  She hadn't seen anything but this place.<br/><br/>As the woman comforted the other girl, Kairi crossed to a window and pulled back the heavy drape.  Nothing seemed unusual, but then it all started to sink in.  Things were a bit off.  The color of the sky, the way people were dressed.  The modes of transport.  Everything was different and she knew that it could not be so elaborately staged.  She was not on planet Earth.  Her hand slipped from the curtain and she backed away.  "Oh, God.  We...we aren't...home."  She rounded on Lita, a fire burning in her belly, her anger masking her intense fear of the unknown.<br/><br/>"It will be<em>alright</em>.  How can you say that?  Are you<em>alright</em>, Lita?  Is this the life you wanted?  Cause I can tell you.  I don't want this!" Kairi shouted the last.  She fell into a heap and sobbed.  She was so angry, had been for so long but she had always kept despair away.  She couldn't let it take her now.  She dropped her hands from her face, wiping away the tears.  Every instinct told her to run.  She stared at the door, her mind already hatching plans.  Lita may have said escape was bad, but the idea was to not get caught.
