Before Prudence could answer, Molly began to screaht red and tears dribbled down her face One of her chubby hands reached out to grasp Rebecca's pinky Rebecca's eyes widened at this She did reham, can you understand me? Blink twice for yes" For a moment Rebecca stared at the baby's red face Then Molly blinked twice in quick succession

"I don't know about that," Rebecca said She turned back to the infant "Did Mr Delgado tell the truth? Did you fall into the fountain? Blink twice for yes and three times for no"

"What else can we do?"
"We have to find so Molly with them to the cave, but she didn't want to just leave the baby alone in the church It would be too easy then for Mr Delgado to finish what he'd started Molly would be a lot safer with Rebecca and Prudence
"What are we looking for?" Prudence asked
"I don't know Maybe he left a clue there" Rebecca shrugged as much as she could with a baby in her arms "That's where Samantha would start"
"I suppose so I still think we should tell someone If not Sao to him," Rebecca snapped "He wouldn't believe us either He's just a big bully"
"But we can't stop Mr Delgado on our own He's a grown-up"
