Stef's: POV
I just pulled up to the cottage after coming from the grocery store
I turned off the engine. Thinking about everything that taken place
These last two months, my baby girl is still out there missing. No new leads have turned up yet, l broke down and cried asking God why was our sweet little girl was taking from us. There's not a Day that goes by l don't think of her, seeing her smiling face in the mornings. I just don't understand
How could this man be so cold?
So many questions roll around in my mind, and our son Brandon saw him take Francesca and he said nothing
I know kids do a lot of unspeakable things. We always talked with our children, about being open and honest with us. Were we paying Francesca to much attention, that we missed the signs. Something was going on with Brandon we didn't know about, we have always been involved in there lives. I know
I've been working a lot at the hospital
That doesn't explain why he kept this information from us, l wiped my eyes
Got out the car. Unloaded the trunk
Filled with groceries, and carried the bags inside. Where l see mom in the kitchen drinking her fresh cup of coffee, Stefanie is everything okay
You look like you've been crying
Mom asked me. Mother l'm fine
Has Lena been down Stef questioned
No I checked up on her a little while ago, she was sitting at the desk drawing something Sharon said
Yeah Lena use to that a lot but she stopped Stef Stated. Let me give you a hand with the groceries Sharon States
I went upstairs to see Lena and she sitting by the window seal staring out the window, l saw the picture she drew of a white and blue stone house
Maybe this is her way of communicating. I take out my phone and took a picture of her drawing and sent to detective Rollins, to have them look into this place. Hopefully this could be a break in the case, l don't wanna Lena's hops up in case this a dead end, my cell begins buzzing and it's from lieutenant Benson Cabot saying she would swing by and talk to us. About the photo l sent her
I texted her back and said okay
Then I put my phone in my pocket
Love l just spoke with lieutenant Benson Cabot, she and detective Rollins are coming over to speak with us. Regrading this picture you drew
Stef says to her wife, that's where he's keeping her. The reason why the police couldn't find the house cause it's in the middle of nowhere Lena tells me, and she turns back around facing the window again. I left out the room and headed down the stairs
and saw mom putting the groceries away, Ma you didn't have to do that
I was coming back Stef told Sharon
