Chapter 107

Karsyn

I’m still sitting in the police station when I hear the Amber Alert come out. My stomach drops to my knees, because I know what’s coming for this girl. They say her name is Leah, and when they show her picture, I start shaking. She could be my twin when I was a little girl.

Immediately I want to help. There’s no way I can sit here in this room and not do anything. It goes so far against everything I’ve learned about myself, the person I’ve become. Getting up, I walk over to where Holden is sitting at the information desk. Even though he’s officially retired, he volunteers a few hours a week here. He can’t stand to do nothing from what I’ve heard.

“I wanna help,” I tell him.

He nods solemnly. “Are you sure? This isn’t easy, you may see things you won’t ever be able to forget.”
