Seeing their pained reaction from seeing Amy in this state—as she was trying to give us a huge hug after waddling over—made me think that they must've seen someone like Amy in their time in the "business" but I doubt they were actually involved in this horrible way people—no, monsters try to make money.
In any case, they also couldn't believe how Amy could still be this little ray of sunshine and she didn't even mind complete strangers seeing her in her unusual state, as she kept the bright smile before looking up at me once I returned her warm hug:
"D-Did you all just a-arrive? H-How was your trip? Was it okay? D-Did you guys eat well? How about sleep—"
I almost ruffled her hair as I cut her off with a smile, "We— We had a blast!"
"That's great!"
"How about you, Amy? Anything happen while we're away—"
"Huuuh?! You can't notice any~thing~?" Amy said as she took a few steps back and pointed at her new legs.
I then had a small realization, "Oh! You've gotten taller! Congrats!"
"Yeah! I grew an inch! Heh. I-I can't run with them yet but I could walk just fine, right?!"
"Of course! That's why I didn't notice you had an upgrade because you were already used to them!"
"Aww~ Gee, thanks! W-Who are t-they anyway?"
"Let me introduce you..."
"Listen, ALRIGHT?! THAT'S WHAT THEY FUCKING CALLED IT, NOT ME! I CAN'T EVEN THINK OF THE RIGHT WORD TO USE SO I USED WHAT THEY WERE CALLED BEFORE! I'M SORRY, AGAIN, ALRIGHT?!"
Kaley interjected, "Guys, I think we should let Quinn finish her story first before adding in or— you know... Please continue, Quinn..."
Quinn made sure that Megan calmed down before she continued, "Haa... As I was saying, this 'doll' business before threw me in for a— I can't even begin to describe what I felt at that time when I discovered their existence but let me just say that when more people were made aware of them—and of course, angered by such a way to treat people—the... the uh... the organization decided to cut off ties with that group, among others, but it seemed they still continued their operations because it's that just lucrative... More so when there are fewer places to get them... I couldn't care less if grown adults decide to pursue sex work and do drugs just to live by but you shouldn't do it to people against their will—young or old—period... Fuck!
It's still making me so fucking mad I—"
I cut in, "Which group was it? Is it connected to the cartel or the triads—"
"I hate to say this but it's more of a straight-up of who could provide them type of situation that caters to anything and everyone that seeks it and would protect them as well. You saw what would happen when they get discovered, you even did some of the punishment as well... You'll know more if you get to talk to Mason—"
"Mason— The Garcia Family?!"
Then Quinn's face darkened as she nodded, "Yeah. Jordan(#5) and Lucy(#6) were the ones to handle the transport of the 'goods' at that time years ago because they gave a large commission and whatnot, that's why I discovered it in the first place—because they opened the package even though they shouldn't—but who wouldn't open it if it starts moving and screaming for dear life?"
"W-Where are they exactly again?"
"Which one?"
"The Garcia Family's HQ and the two people below you— Jordan and Lucy, were they?"
"It's a drive to the West from the Rivas Family which is a 5-star Hotel, Resort, and Casino. Around five-to-six hours from the last time I remembered but Jordan and Lucy's outpost is much closer but not by much. Mary and John's people have been trying to get them to move inside but those two wouldn't budge after discovering the other shit they've been doing besides the doll business..."
