I pull my purse up my arm holding Emilia's hand as I walk down the street her little hand slips out mine when she reaches down to pick up a cigarette bud I snatch out her hand "yucky ew baby don't touch that." I tell her. she frowns pouting I usher her forward and a man comes up to me I swallow pulling her closer "hi I'm detective Derek Bates this is my partner Oliver Callahan." Wow full names I stare at Oliver a little longer than necessary because he's a little hotter than necessary

"Can I help you?" I ask softly I lift up Emilianna on my hip Callahan smiles at her she ducks her head shyly.

"can we speak to you about? Um-" he glances at Emilia I cover her ears a "sex trafficking case from a couple years back."

Aw fuck.

This shit.

I look at the candy shop it's empty my heart is getting overwhelmed my head is too and the urge to lie and say I have no clue what you're talking about is powerful.

And "can we talk in there?" I say coming back to this conversation he nods Callahan opens the door for me I give him a nod putting Emilia down "go pick out two candies" I tell her setting her down on the purple wacky flooring.

She walks unsteady on her own pointing to the candies I sit down in the clear chair with a table between us with them in front of me they showed me their badges there legit.

"she's a beautiful girl" Callahan tells me he seems gentle it brings a smile to my face "thank you." I answer "two years ago you were sex trafficked correct?" I nod "three years but continue."

"I know this is three years to late" Bates says "I'm sorry you weren't through that at." Callahan says his brown ish blonde ish hair his in his face a bit he's handsome young for his job. all "it's fine it wasn't your fault I was living in a whole different city." I speak

I glance at Emilia who's pointing to the candies with a young girl who's working here she offers me a smile I smile back probably 15 years old.

"Do you remember anything about your captors did anything out of the ordinary happen that week?" I shrug nodding my head "there was a break in at my other job some men came in while I was working late and shot up everyone in there." I say "I was terrified blindfolded and helpless."

"Everyone else died but you." Derek Bates says almost like an accusation "the sex traffickers they preying on young women who have no family and no one else who will look for them. " I bite my lip I must've been a dream to them.

"How did you escape?" I shrug I never had a plan on how to explain how I got out alive I was as good as dead to rest of the world. Like he said no one even knew I was missing. "I don't remember I was drugged I got rescued In someway."

I remember exactly how I was rescued I was scared and out of my mind with fear but Colten just touched me and I passed out.

"Can I ask you something personal about your daughter?" I exhale feeling uncomfortable and this protectiveness over my child.
