Katie put a McDonald's sack on the kitchen table. She reached in. She handed a double cheeseburger and fries to her husband.

Charles's cellphone buzzed. He answered. " Hello". He unwrapped the cheeseburger and took a bite. " Hi Detective Springer". He took a sip of some water. " I see". He bit into a french fry. " Ok, stay in touch". He pushed the red button. He put the phone on the table. He noticed the business card from the park was still in his shirt pocket. He put it in the kitchen knick knack drawer.

" Who was that?".

" Detective Springer". He bit into his cheeseburger. " He said the van was untraceable".

" I'm scared what they might do to my baby". She dabbed her eyes with a tissue. " I've hardly been able to sleep since it happened".

" I know". He put a loving arm around his wife. " Let's pray that our daughter will be ok".

They bowed their heads and prayed to God to protect their daughter.
