As I walked into the school gym I saw her. Standing on the other side of the room talking to her new friends. She probably had no idea that I was alive. Probably, thought I was gone forever. The blaring music filled the room as the students darted towards the dance floor. I could see a glimpse of her but then she disappeared into the crowd. I gradually walked toward he hoping she would see me. I grabbed her by the hand, pulled her away from her friends and gave her a big hug. She screamed but no one could hear her.

“You. What are you doing on my property? No one but me here, so if you are the police then go ahead and leave. I don’t have anything to hide,” he said. “I said go on” he said again. “So yourself,” he said. He, the man I was looking for. He, the man under the jacket at Emma’s house.
