The Orphan Factory (The Orphan Trilogy, #2) - Plot & Excerpts
He was still no closer to discovering why Nine had frequented it most afternoons. He’d noticed the green-eyed orphan’s attraction to the tree house on a few occasions of late, and the other orphans had reported they’d seen him climb up the sycamore tree every afternoon for the last month or so.The special agent had hoped the tree house would provide a clue to where Nine had gone. He ruminated on the fact he’d been reduced to relying on such long shots because he had nothing else to go on. With the help of the White Gold Powder, and a bit of luck, the crafty orphan had done the impossible and disappeared off the grid. And with all Omega’s available operatives tied up helping Naylor resolve the Nexus problem, Kentbridge was basically on his own. That, combined with the dearth of clues, meant he’d reached a brick wall.As far as Kentbridge knew, the young fugitive could be anywhere in North America by now. Despite the best efforts of Omega’s formidable IT department monitoring all police reports nationwide, as well satellite networks, there hadn’t been a sign of Nine since he’d narrowly avoided capture in Downtown Chicago. Kentbridge became aware he was about to have company when he heard Cavell, the orphanage’s resident dog, climbing up the ladder.
