"I don't remember my parents losing me or the seizure of my mother she told me about. I remember being in a car trunk with a bag over my head, and we drove a long time, arriving at a forest.
The man taking me in called himself "Louis," but that is undoubtedly not his real name.
He treated me like a dog, letting me eat from the floor and the like.
He hit me a few times over the years, but nothing really bad.
Then he showed me how to pickpocket and used me to get some money. I couldn't talk for a long time, like- something mental..." He pointed at his head.
"After this was clear, it was not long until he had just left. Then, a woman came and brought me to an orphanage. I will write down the address of the place.."
He didn't look at Maurice and took a piece of paper from his desk, writing down the estimated location of the forest and the orphanage.
