There were cameras, monitors and a long window which looked into a white room. A girl who looked about eight sat on the edge of a bed, leafing listlessly through the pages of a book. She brushed away the long blonde hair from her face and looked directly at them, revealing the most unusual eyes – one iris was green and one was blue. The effect was startling and for a moment Sarah thought the girl saw them, but quickly realized they were on the other side of a two-way mirror like the one in her room. The girl looked back at the book. Rachel tapped on the shoulder of a woman sitting in front of one of the monitors. “Give us ten minutes,” she ordered. The woman rose and looked round at them both with a frown. Sarah noticed the woman’s security pass lying on the desk. Magda Stepnik. She moved to stand in front of it. “Colonel Moss said this one was not to leave my sight,” the woman said, her accent eastern-European. Rachel glanced at Sarah and then back at Magda. “That’s an order.”
