| |
| − | Olivia: Are you going to rescue Ricky?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Detroit Evening Times: Who’s Ricky?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Olivia: They took Ricky, too. Are you going to rescue him?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Question: With your help we will. Do you remember what happened when you were kidnaped?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Olivia: People came to our house and there was a big fight. They put something on my face and I fell asleep. When I woke up I was someplace else.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Question: Where was your house?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Olivia: It was in England. We lived right outside a little town called Bailey. I was the first, you know!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Question: The first what?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Olivia: The first child.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Question: Now you’ve got Jason and Ricky. Well, Jason and we’ll find Ricky soon.

| − | '''Heroic Doctor Known To Kidnapers'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Olivia: I bet Dr. Parkhurst finds him right away.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [Her young eyes shine with hero worship. Parkhurst has won at least one young fan with his daring actions.]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Question: How do you know Dr. Parkhurst?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Olivia: Oh, the people who were taking care of us were always talking about him.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Question: You mean the people who kidnaped you?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Olivia: No, they didn’t kidnap me, that was somebody else. They were just taking care of us afterwards. They said that he was very important to the other people who were sick like us.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Question: How long were you kidnaped?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Olivia: Almost a year! I know because I’d just had my birthday when they took us, and that’s in September, and it’s not September now, so it hasn’t been a whole year yet.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Question: That’s a long time.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Olivia: Ricky and Jason and I tried to escape once, but they caught us and got really mad.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Both children grow quiet and still, lost in the grip of memory. Their faces for a moment look distressingly adult -- child survivors of the Great War often had the same cast; tragedy has aged them too soon. But it passes, sooner rather than later, and we continue.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Question: Did they ever say why they kidnaped you?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Olivia: I used to think it was because I was the oldest, but now I don’t know. They took lots of our blood. I don’t know why but I don’t think they were trying to help cure us or anything. They gave us shots and then took our blood out like they were testing us for something. It didn’t hurt much but they kept moving us around.

| − | '''Intrigue Among the Egyptians'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Question: Where were you?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Olivia: Lots of different places. We almost got rescued in Egypt!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Question: Who tried to rescue you?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Olivia: I don’t know, but they said they thought one of their friends told the people who tried to rescue us about us. Some of the community got killed.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Question: The community? Were they the ones who tried to rescue you?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Olivia: No, those were people like you, people who weren’t sick. After we left Egypt, they were really, really upset, because in Thebes [the Egyptians] set our house on fire. They thought we were demons! We were in Thebes, and the Thebans -- who were all small and dark and wore dresses, even the men -- they came to the house and they said we were demons and we had to come out and be punished and then they set the house on fire.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Question: How did you escape?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Olivia: The people who tried to rescue us later helped us, but I don’t think they knew we were there. They chased away the Egyptians.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Question: But who were they, the people who tried to rescue you?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Olivia: I heard them talking about it later and they were very impressed about one of them named Paige Saint Mar and she made all the Egyptians see a big demon coming out of the house so they all ran away. They made us go into the basement until the fire was all burned out so we could leave. That was when they tried to rescue us and there was a lot of shouting but it didn’t work. After that they brought us over here and then you rescued us!
