"H..hey look over there" a man said to his friend "where?" the friend replied
"agh.. Just look to the right by the rivers side there's a child in that basket.. See! The leg's sticking out" the man said pointing towards the busket near the river bank
"ah you're right.. Lets go check if it's still breathing" the friend suggested "yeah let's go" the man said while both were going towards the busket
The man checked the baby's pulse and said "wow how is it still alive in this cold temperature....and she's a girl"
"maybe she was abounded not too long a ago it's none our business ..... But i heard there's orphanage 2 miles from here accepts any abounded child and even offers money to those who help bring them in" the friend said taking the baby out of the busket..
The baby had dark brown hair a little dark complexion but flawless skin but they couldn't see the eyes of the baby since they were still closed, but she still looked like an angel.
"yeah... you mean the The shining future orphanage right!?" the man asked realizing what his friend was taking about..
"yes that one should we take her there she would have a place to live and we willget some money as well it's a win win situation"the friend suggested
" i don't know that place is a little shabby who knows what they do to the children there i heard when no one ever saw the children from that orphanage smile or behave like children at all" the man said with concern in his voice
"true but we don't know they might just be only rumors and we can't exactly take care of a baby right now and we can't just leave her to die ether it's best option in my opinion" the friend said trying to convince the man... The friend is greedy he gambles and lost a lot of money recently and by handing the baby over the orphanage he might just get some decent amount of money he actually didn't care if the baby died or not
"your right we don't have much options at the moment and we can't just leave her to die in this cold weather we will take her there" the man said with sad voice for some reason even wnen he just foind her he felt protective of her but he really didn't have any choice his financial condition wasn't good enough to take her in so he agreed with his friend and yook the baby and her busket to the orphanage...
At the orphanage
The man was holding the baby carefully and his friend was only thinking about how much money they would get in exchange
They entered the orphanage and told the reception lady that had found a baby and and they wanted to place her here the friend added in exchange for some money
The reception lady looked at the baby amd the the two men in front of her
"alright wait here" she said with an emotionless expression and left to get the orphanage authorities
The man was was cradling the baby and while doing that he noticed something shiny on the girls nech there was a big locket on which they couldn't noticed deu to blanket she wrapped in he checked the locked it said Freya on the locket he thought maybe one her parents left it on her to let others know her name
The lady returned with a man who looked to be around 29 of age and was wearing a white coat which was quite odd..
The 29 year old held out his and introduced himself "hello gentlemen i'm Luke knight i'm the owners son i see you've come to give us a very wonderful angel..what is her name!? Luke asked while looking at the baby
The man answered "hello... i'm Ronald we found her near the river bank so we don't know hee name.. But she's wearing locket that says Freya so i think that's her name.".. Ronalds friend looked at him surprised because he didn't notice any locket of he had he would taken to sell later
" aww my poor baby she was abounded by her parents wasn't she i'll let her keep the locket... Can you give her to me i want to hold " Luke said extending his hand to take the baby
Ronald reluctantly gave him the babyand gave the busket to the lady.
After taking the baby from him Luke gave the reception lady a look which said" give them the money and send them away"
The lady pulled out two bags which contained 25,000$ each and gave it to the two men present Ronalds friend excitedly took the bag and said " thanks i kmew you guys value babies that i told him to bring her here looks like i wasn't wrong"
Luke smirked and said "indeed we do" with a mysterious glint in his eyes
Ronald didn't feel good about the way Luke was looking at the baby but he reluctantly accepted the money even if he was feeling like this wasn't right but his friend was too happy to care
"then we should take our leaves now.... Please take care of her" Ronald said while stepping backwards before turning and leaving he looked at Freya agian this her eyes were open but she wasn't crying she had dark blue eyes
She looking at him like telling him no to leave her
He forcefully looked forward and left with his friend....
