Answer Me This

"Okay!" He shouted as he stepped out into a dimly lit hallway. Running to catch up with the child, he tried to formulate the right words to ask the right question. He ended up in another room, much like a living area with a few pieces of worn out looking furniture and disgustingly flowery wallpaper.
The kid was not around, and one question that did manage to percolate through the confusion was, How was she so fast?
But that wasn't important.
What was important was the fact that the other three people, a term to be used loosely, were in fact lounging about in this room, and smiling at him. "She went that way," the lavendar haired lady flicked her fingers in the direction he had just come from. Before turning around and running again, he had the briefest notion that the woman desperately needed more clothing. He blocked the sight of other two men from his mind as much as possible, at least to keep that fraction of his sanity.
He sprinted down the hallway, came to a rather shoddy looking door, and opened it up to reveal daylight. At least, he thought it must have been daylight, because all at once he couldn't see at all.
After many seconds of blinking, his eyes adjusted to the brightness. He turned to his left as he heard someone sigh. "I know . . . I know," she said with slight despair. "'Where? When? Why? and How?'" She was leaning against the dusty wood of the building, and she looked absolutely frustrated. "Those questions," she took an aggravated breath, "I just don't have the time to answer right now, Marcus!" After a moment she turned her head to stare in his general direction. "Why do you have to be so . .. so curios?!"
He furrowed his eyebrows in concentration. He hadn't actually said more than two sentences since meeting her, but somehow she knew every thought.
Oh yes, she could read his mind.
Well that was going to be the first thing squared up.
