There was a twang and sarcasm in Maureen's words which confused the teenager.
Shaking her head, the girl stared at Maureen through lost eyes. "I honestly do not know who Gecko is. I know what a gecko is...the lizard that is."
Maureen waved her hand, gesturing that it did not matter. "Just tell us where or how you acquired the bracelet."
The girl looked at her wrist with apprehensive eyes and replied, "I got it from my friend who has a family in Hartoum. They sent her some and she gave me one as a present ahead of the exams. She has one too." She relayed to them, her fingers kept trying to pry the bracelet off, but it was immovable.
Phoebe and her aunt exchanged gazes before getting to work. Just like they had done for Fin Rhode, they managed to get the bracelet off the girl's arm. The process was easier this time round because they had already gone through it once.
