ORDER ONLY

found them.

really got the run-around, and it took a damn long time because I had to be discreet. even checked every room in the hospital. finally found where they lived, but the neighbor told me they'd decided to go stay with her cousin. took me forever to find which bloody cousin.

talked to the parents, Dawn and Robert. they're both tired from having a new baby, worried as hell about the diphtheria going around, and don't quite know what to make of me. Al or Arthur usually does the talking. they'd be much better at it. tried to do my best, but Robert nearly clocked me one when he figured out I wanted to take Charlotte with me, and Dawn wanted me to get all three of them out of the camps somehow.

Arthur? I could use a hand.

I'll be right there, if you tell me where to go to meet you.

[alt_frank]

four streets south of the communal bathhouse, building seven, flat 3a.

[alt_arthur]

Right-o. Be there as soon as I can.

[alt_frank]

cheers

[alt_sirius]

Not the same building seven Carrow's in, I hope?

[alt_frank]

no, the residential block. thank Merlin.

It always breaks my heart whenever the parents ask us to take them with the children, and we just can't.

[alt_alice]

I'm so glad you've found them, love.

Just stay patient. They mustn't think they're being forced into something.

Remember, this is one of the most important things they'll ever have to decide on. I know you are pressed for time, but just let them take a moment to breathe and think.

You're doing wonderfully so far.

I always did say that Frank could charm the birds out of the trees.

[alt_alice]

He certainly charmed me!

[alt_frank]

alright. I stepped out for a mo to let them read some of the letters and talk.

[alt_arthur]

Frank has just about done the thing, everyone. A little more hard arguing needed to convince them that we can't take them along, too, but I think it won't be more than a few minutes now. Once they've agreed, we'll head back to the infirmary so there'll be a record there of the baby being admitted for diphtheria. Then we'll find a healer to confund to get the death certificate.

If all goes well, Frank will be back on his way to Moddey Dhoo with Charlotte in about an hour.

[alt_alice]

Good work, you two.

We'll be ready and waiting.
