"Yep, nothing to worry about," Dannah replied and smiled at Darryl. Her brother responded by tapping her back and left her after his attention was called by a guest. When he left, Dannah went to look for Willow and when her eyes fell on the child again, her expressions dimmed. Without thinking through it further, she grabbed another plastic cup filled with some juice and paced her way to where Willow was sitting.

Willow was then eating strawberries when Dannah approached her. She had talked to many people in just an hour and so she went very hungry and decided to settle and have some snacks.

​​

"Here's some juice for you Little Miss," Dannah smiled at her sweetly as if she was doting her where in fact she approached the girl for something she didn't want everyone to notice, not even the girl herself. She planned to get some samples of her, some saliva, or some fallen hair so she can get have her DNA checked.

"Thank you but I have my water with me," Willow smiled back and took a sip on her water bottle. Only then that Dannah noticed that the girl was carrying her usual water bottle, the one she always brings to work all the time.

"That's a cute bottle, where did you buy such a thing?" Dannah tried to baby talk her with the intention of asking her bottle in camouflage for asking a souvenir.

"My dad bought it for me. It's kind of sentimental," Willow replied, and although Dannah was aware that it was an innocent reply it seemed like Willow was blocking off her attempts. Right then that she was sitting next to her, Dannah thought of ways to get some samples of her but then looking at Willows herself, it seemed impossible to do so.

First, Willow's hair was kept on a bun and was all covered by a net and it was rather impossible to get a single out from her. She always comes to L Empire that way and never did once Dannah had seen the girl messed up her hair. Second, Willow always wore a glove around her hands, fashionable gloves that seemed fit for children but then Dannah also realized, the girl had been wearing gloves every time she sees her, even at the funeral. Third, Willow always had a bottle cup with her and her own utensils that she bring all the time, making it hard for anyone to get a sample of her saliva and most of all, Willow was very choosy with whom to hold and touch her as if she was don't trust any people at all.

Dannah sighed at the view of Willow eating strawberries. Even the strawberries that she was eating wouldn't give an opportunity to get any drop of saliva in her as she swallowed the fruit-whole and with nothing to spare. She wondered by then if someone trained Willow to be like how careful she was as if they were preventing anyone from getting any samples of her. However, Dannah also thought maybe she was just exaggerating everything so she went on.

"Little Miss, if you don't mind me asking why do you wear gloves all the time?" Dannah inquired pretending as if the question was an innocent one. "And why is your hair tucked like that all the time? I mean…I had always wanted to ask you but I didn't get a chance. Since today is your last day, perhaps you can tell me why so?"

"For two things actually," Willow answered confidently as if the matter weren't serious at all, "First it's because I'm a botanist and wearing gloves and tucking your hair up with a net was the usual botanist outfits. We do it for convenience and for the sake of cleanliness. Second, it's to prevent anyone from getting either my fingerprint or a sample of my hair for a DNA,"

Dannah was surprised with the answer as she never thought Willow's reasons would be this heavy. It was like she was a mature woman who knew everything fully and was only hiding on a child's body.

"Your DNA?" Dannah laughed at it as if it was something silly. However, it was only her way of lightening up the situation because things turned intense at Willow's answer.

"You see third Miss I read somewhere people do clones through using DNA," Willow explained further, her green little eyes shone with fascination, "Since I'm smart, pretty, and popular, I'm afraid someone will do a clone on me. So I make sure no one can get any samples of me,"

"Ahhhh," Dannah pretended as if she was thoroughly convinced and that Willow's reasons were indeed far reasonable enough. However, deep inside she was cursing. She never once thought getting a sample on a little girl was this hard however knowing that she was not an ordinary little girl, Dannah gave it some rest. With how meticulous and careful Willow was, it's impossible to trick her. Goddam that clone-whoever invented them!

"Do you have any other questions for me?" Willow titled her head as if she was up for anything. "It's my last day so if I intend to give everyone some treat by letting them know things about me. I know everyone is dying to know me better,"

Dannah chuckled inwardly at Willow's overbearing confidence. This girl was smart and she definitely inherited Ziggy's proudness. How cute but annoying!

"Well, I was wondering you could tell me about your mother," Dannah pressed in and whispered to Willow, "You know everyone was dying to know,"

"I know. A lot of people asked me but I didn't answer them," Willow told. "But since you are one of my favorite people here, I'll tell you one thing about my mom,"

"Really?" Dannah felt some victory inside. Perhaps this time, she can get some useful information about Willow and Wolfe's origin. Then in just a minute, she saw Willow cueing her to move forward to her as if she was about to say something very confidential. Of course, Dannah immediately moved to listen to what she has to say.

"My mom," She whispered. "My mom…they says she's pretty but to be honest I'm way prettier,"

"And?" Dannah asked further, bracing herself for more.

"That's it," Willow smiled and moved her face away from Dannah. "I told you I'm going to tell you one thing. That's one thing about my mom and please makes sure to tell no one about it. I trust you won't tell,"
