Payne relayed Mila’s background to me as we stood huddled around my desk with one lamp on.

“And you’re sure there is nothing else?” I asked, frowning when Payne finished his report. I spoke softly so my voice wouldn’t carry through the quiet inn.

Payne shrugged. “Were you expecting something else?”

“It seems strange… there was nothing else to her background?” I asked again for clarification.

“That’s all I have,” Payne said with a heavy sigh.

“All right, let’s go over it again and see if we can find anything else,” I ordered, laying my hand flat on the desk.

“There’s absolutely nothing remarkable about this young woman. Mila was an orphan and a stray. When she was five, she strayed into Saboreef Pack and was taken in by a foster mother. Unfortunately, she was nothing more than a grubby, greedy, gambler,” Payne told me again.

“Which doesn’t exactly equal a happy, well-adjusted childhood,” I muttered.

“I asked around about her and most people had to think hard just to remember her, even when I gave her name. I think because of her upbringing she was introverted and a loner. No one claimed to be her friend and it sounds like she mostly kept to herself,” he elaborated.

“That sounds about right that she didn’t interact with many people,” I agreed with a nod. There was no way people wouldn’t have a deep impression about her had they seen her face. The reason why not many remembered her, had to be because they’d never seen her.

Besides, based on my brief interactions with her, she was independent and preferred keeping to herself, looking out for herself, and being on her own.

Payne wasn’t telling me anything new. We’d already discussed her childhood. It didn’t give me any hints to pinpoint why Lee had been insistent on sending her away as soon as possible.

I knew Lee and he wasn’t the type to make a big deal out of these things. Unless it was directly related to him or could lead to some disaster for all of us, he kept his mouth shut. He’d never say anything outright, but his prodding was enough to keep me alert for anything in her past that was suspicious.

“Did you think you’d learn something different?” Payne questioned.

“Well, yes. Based on Lee’s reaction to her,” I admitted, frowning.

“It is sad, but a lot of orphans end up in similar situations to her,” Payne reported.
