The fire engine arrived to late.
There where people running around everywhere. Nobody seemed to know what to do. A woman was crying.
And across the street, hidden in the bushes, four children sat, watching.
Later that same night, in the same city, an experemental hospital was also burned down. No one was hurt in either fire, and both buildings where burnt to the ground. Nothing was left, except some notes. One piece of paper for each of the children that had lived there.
Four notes, three at the house, one at the hospital, as was tradition.
As the firemen tried fruitlessly to put out the two fires, the four children in the forest slipped silently out of the town.
