An hour later, after being taken inside by the teacher, the principal, and some police officers to give their testimony, Fiona and Iris were finally allowed to leave the principal's office. When they stepped out, they were immediately met by Harper and her mother, who was dressed like a social worker.
"Thank you, Fiona, Iris. If it weren't for you two, who knows what would have happened to Harper," the mother said.
"You're welcome, ma'am. Next time, please don't be late," Fiona replied.
"Yeah, poor Harper. She went with that man because she was hungry," Iris added.
"I know, I'm sorry, Harper," the mother said to Harper.
"It's okay, Mommy," Harper replied.
Then Harper glanced at Megan, who was standing behind Fiona and Iris, and immediately hid behind her mother out of fear. Fiona and Iris immediately pulled Harper out.
"It's okay, she's Megan, she's our family," Fiona said, smiling.
"R-really?" Harper asked, glancing at Megan, who was smiling at her.
