A teenage girl who turned up in Midtown Manhattan recently apparently has no memory of her name, home or family. Administration of Child Services commissioner John B. Mattingly told the local ABC affiliate that the girl is safe but just wants to know who she is and what happened to her.
That’s all Jason Bourne wanted to do, too, then he reflexively dropped a couple of cops and went on a killing spree to retrace his steps and find out why he was this MacGuyver on steroids killing machine with no memory of how he got that way.
This is a sad story, indeed, especially since the girl is estimated to be between 14 and 17 years old and likely scared beyond comprehension, but the reason I make the connection to Jason Bourne is because she’s told people she’s been writing a fantasy story about a chick named Rian “who’s been raised by the commander of the guard post on the edge of a fantasy kingdom.”
I doubt the government is stealing babies and brainwashing children to become teenage assassins and calling their barracks the fantasy kingdom, but if I were working in the child services center where Jane Doe is staying I would be very careful about coming up from behind her to get her attention and accidentally startling her by tapping on her shoulder. It’s a good way to end up on your back with a dislocated elbow.
