Her teachers found some amusement at the vagaries and stupidity of the people of Fendersburg. Jane was touched that they were concerned about her feelings and her progress in getting out of town. The Council finally met. They agreed, the focus had to shift from finding lost and abandoned and unclaimed children, to finding the next generation, the descendants of the lost and abandoned who hadn't displayed powers. People who had married others like them, produced children who might be Gifted, and had helped them hide their Gifts.
Other members of Hoax got to work doing research. They dug into the few records of Neighborlee Children's Home that had gone public, following up on the lost children who had grown up normal, who had been adopted or who had graduated and gone out into the world. Where they had gone, what they had done with their lives.
