Laura jolts awake hearing voices at the door.
"We really have to talk to Linda. She can't keep forgetting to lock the door. Who knows who could get in here?"
Laura jumps to her feet and looks for a hiding spot. Spying a large toy chest she rushes over and lifts open the lid, finding she first has to remove a thumb she didn't realize she was sucking from her mouth, and climbs in. As she settles in, she hears footsteps entering the room and then the sounds of them presumably preparing for the day.
Laura listens closely hoping to hear them leave the room long enough for her to make a getaway. Unfortunately, this doesn't come to pass and after what seems like forever she hears the sound of children being dropped off for the day. Shortly after, the lid to the toy chest swings open and Laura looks up to see a girl, who looks no older than 18, towering over her.
"Oh hi sweetie! Were you playing hide and seek? That's not a game for here though we don't want to lose you!"
Her high pitched, small children voice makes Laura blush as she finds herself treated as just another charge. The girl then sticks her hands under Laura's armpits and lifts her out of the chest.
"Uh oh! Looks like someone lost their name tag! I'm Linda what's your name?"
"Laura," she squeaks wincing at the tiny voice coming out of her mouth.
"What a pretty name! Let's get you a new name tag so everyone can see it!"
Linda carries Laura over to a counter and sits her down while writing her name out on a blank name tag. As Linda goes to pin it on Laura's overalls she frowns as she feels something hard in the pocket. Laura tries not to show visible alarm as Linda removes the dice.
"Now what are these? These don't look a toy for you! Did you take them from your mommy or daddy? I guess we'll just have to ask when they pick you up!"
Linda places the container down on the counter and finishes pinning the name tag on. Laura then finds herself unceremoniously dumped onto the playroom floor.
"There you go! Play nice now!"
Laura sits there and considers just how much of a bind she was in now, her thumb unconsciously finding its way back to her mouth. Not only was she now under the supervision befitting someone her current age, she also has been separated from the dice until the toddler's nonexistant parents came to retrieve her
