There was a knock on the door of the Williams Residence.
Abby Williams went to open it. There was a man standing there. He held up a machine in front of her face that flashed a series of patterns and images at her eyes.
"I'm Mr. Gardener, from Child Protective Services," he said. "I'm here to help get your new foster children moved in.
Abby just blinked, watching the machine.
"Now, you are going to sit down right there and we'll take care of everything."
She moved to a chair and sat down, blankly. The man inserted a movie into the DVD player and signaled for the workers to start work on the house. They had a lot of things to move in.
