Sunshine did not see Nimo and Alfred as she was driven to the command center. A lazy reminder wiggled around in her mind, bringing forth the fact that Nimo could not cook. She could try but she was not great at it.
Her mother Maya got this terrified look every time she saw Nimo lighting the gas or grabbing a knife in the kitchen. Since Nimo was living with her mother, there was no way she had forgotten the stove on.
Not on Maya's watch!
There was a possibility that she had been cooking while her mother was away but Sunshine doubted it. It was more likely that her friend had initiated the escape to keep Alfred from saying something.
They had been talking about the children. Did Alfred have something against them?
She frowned. Alfred had only seen the Quinn children from a distance whenever he dropped her off. He never interacted with them. What possible reason would he have to dislike them?
