         “I am the daughter of nobodies. I am nobody. What do you people want from me?” She’s scared, Jenna thinks, before the reality of that fact hits her. She’s scared. She’s a young girl who’s been kidnapped, as far as she knows, by enemies who want who knows what from her, and Marsh is hardly helping, as intimidating as he is and glaring at her.
         So she kneels in front of the young lady, trying not to crowd her. “You are what some might call a bastard, but Harris was not your father. We have been seeking you to execute your father’s will for a long time.”
         She looks a little less scared, a little more thoughtful, as she stares at her hands.
         “I know it’s hard to believe you are probably the case of adultery…” Marsh begins, and she shakes her head.
         “That’s...actually the least surprising thing here,” she corrects. She smiles and straightens up a little. It’s not as if she actually trusts them, though Marsh is acting as if she is. But then, maybe this is a good thing—this kind of watchful, wary frame of mind can only keep her alive. “I, um. I’ve got friends, here. Can you…?”
         “I’ll order a few teams to keep a discreet eye on them,” Jenna assures her, and she nods and stands.
         “Willow Rosenberg, Jesse McNally. Thanks.” They already know those names from the surveillance, but then, she probably knows that. Knows that if they mean ill, there’s little she can do.
         “We should get going,” Marsh growls, and she just...raises an eyebrow at Jenna. She’ll fit right in.
