A Child's Curiousity

It seemed like it had been ages since the last time his cell door had been opened and even longer since someone who was not apart of the Company that had locked him up had opened it. He knew the little girl attached to the shock of blonde hair that poked around the metal door to peer at him with startling blue eyes. She was timid obviously deciding on whether or not she should enter the room or not. Adam had seen her countless of times walking pass his holding cell, many of them being at the side of her dear old daddy. There had even been a few times when she came by herself, pausing in front of large glass to peer in not realizing that he had seen her.

“Are you lost?” he finally brought himself to say, smiling as softly as he could to not scare the little girl of seven. The shock of blonde shook and she pushed the door open farther to let herself in.

She fidgeted as she drew closer but still staying far enough away to not be within arms length.

“No, I just had a question.”

A brow arched and Adam leaned forward, resting his chin into the palm of his hand, “What’s that, love?”

Her little nose scrunched up cutely, “You talk funny.”

Adam couldn’t help but laugh, “Is that what you wanted to say?”

The little blonde shook her head once more, her head tilted to one side as she stared up him, “Why are you here?” The question surprised Adam and he wasn’t quite sure what to saw to a young child who was at such an impressionable age. When he didn’t answer the little girl continued, “Were you naughty too?”

“Naughty?” He blinked and smiled, “You could saw that.”

She nodded sadly, wringed her hands together as she took cautious steps forward, “I was naughty too. Daddy had to bring me to this place.”

A tiny twinge of sympathy moved through Adam at the sound of her sad sounding voice, “What’s your name love?”

“Elle. Elle Bishop.”

He nodded and patted to a spot on his cot beside him, “Why don’t you come a sit and tell me what you did that was so naughty.”

Elle stood still a moment or too unsure on whether or not she should. Her father would no doubt be angry with her for having gone off on her own once again and even more anger when he found out whose company she was in. But she needed a friend. None of the others would talk to her and only treated her like an annoyance. Maybe this man could change that. She closed the distance between them and eagerly hoped onto the cot beside and began her tale.

End.
