I see them through the fence...they're hitting

I'm lying in my bed in the orphanage, and I see my father arguing with a man near Isabella's cafe.  They tell me that my mother works there now.  I don't care.  I don't want them anymore.  I stand up and peek out through the covers, and there is blinding light for a moment that blocks me from being able to see what's happening.  One of the volunteers walks in.  "Hey are you feeling better?" She asks.  Her eyes have a spark that I never saw once not even in the eyes of my own mother.  "I think so," I say.  "Okay well you take it easy.  That fever came back through, and hit everyone real hard."  After she leaves I look back at the   cafe and I see a man running it's not my father.  His face is dark and hooded so I can make no guesses about him.  I close my eyes and sleep.
