After three further escape attempts Kat was getting a bit fed up. Trying to reassure the child seemed to have no effect. Sitting down at their level just opened Kat up to be hit, and even if that didn't hurt, it wasn't fun either. Kat was running out of ideas. *I can't see how I'm getting information out of this kid. I suppose I could try scaring them… but I don't want to traumatise any children.*
[What about bribery?]
*That could work… it's also a decent way to give them money without feeling bad.* "Ok, I get that you're going to keep running away, so how about this? I'll ask you a few questions, you answer them, and then I'll let you go," said Kat.
