Hailey After I return from Kenneth"s, I log onto social media and type out a long post. I haven"t used my online account in months, so it feels strange to see everything waiting for me like a time-warp. I thank everyone for their kind wishes and support. I promise I will get back to work soon and will share more about my abduction in time. The investigation is still ongoing. I make the kids breakfast and try to coax my mother into going home. Then I pile the kids into the car and drive them to school. I am not even out of the neighborhood before I notice the black SUV following me. No, not following me. Staying just a few car-lengths behind me. My hands become slippery on the steering wheel. I glance in the rearview mirror. The car isn"t too close, but the driver knows where I"m going.
