Summary
After her time at the Baths, Persis had learned that the first day of one's job set the tone for one's time there.
On her first night as an assistant scientist at The Candlewood Institute the harried form of her superior, Ms. Dulcamara, ushers a bloodied man, who can't be much older than herself, into the cavernous manor's infirmary.
This, surely, is a poor omen of what's to come.

Summary
Red knows how badly the little lady wanted to prove herself. Begging to be let in on mission plans, constantly trailing after them when they sat vigil. Nielton bent to it more often than he did. But Kainis knew that Red was the soft touch of the pair of them. He’d never proven her wrong yet.
"She's a little older than you. What would you think of talkin’ to her?"
"Really?" Kain's eyes light up, smile brighter than a camera flash.
Redmond lowers his voice into this soft haired thing - conspiratorial - as though he’s telling her a secret, "Yes, really, think of it as a mission. Your first mission."
Or
It's early 1978, and Bright and his youngest Hellion are in New Jersey, trying to see if this newest project will work out.
Or, or
Miriam Abatangelo, on the eve of her 16th birthday, has a very strange conversation with a little girl.
