"The time of return has been passed, two men in the dark blue/black car hold the answer it seems. She sat between one and the blonde haired woman that day when she disappeared. Lines of intelligence are silent at the lower ranks because they really don't know ... the link with the higher echelons has been broken. Up at the higher piers ... her location is known.
Awareness still feels her living heart. Health signs are good. She lives with family of which she is now accustomed. She is not allowed to forget her brother and sister; her real mum and dad. Those who hold her are sympathetic. Their hands are tied. They would risk their own lives to break ranks. Someone with clout silences the media. Keeps the ring of golden silence intact ..."
"There is the sense of playing for time. Someone caring not about the emotional wellbeing of the Emperor and the Empress. Their actions a heinous crime in the eyes of the superstitious and the devotee to a belief. That which was not meant to be broken was broken ... there was that need."
This is a frustrating saga like a wheel going round and round .... a rut that will have an ending...
