Jessie wandered into the rec room just as the black haired young woman woke the little kid, she walked passed them looking around. She wasn't inteding to listen in, but she couldn't help but overhear. She guessed that this was Talia before the woman said so, Edie had told Jessie about her. She had no idea who the kid was or what he was doing on the army base. She waited for the woman to leave before she approached the kid.
"Hi Nicky?" he looked confused and like he hadn't slept in a week. A kid his age shouldn't have dark circles under his eyes. If she could help him, she would. Jessie knelt down by his chair so they were at eye level.
"My name is Jessie. I'm new here and I'm a friend of Edie's. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to overhear. You're not getting much sleep are you? Are you having nightmares?"
