Saving Joy

What once was lost

Addison rushed into Finding Loved ones faculty, and rushed to the front desk.

Anne, the same woman who always got stuck talking to her every single time, pulled down her glasses and looked at her," Mrs.Hart if I recall, the last time you came in here we told you not to come back unless you heard from us."

"Miss. Hart and Anne the company called me!"

Her heart was racing. Was this finally the day? Did they find Joy or proof about her abduction?

The older lady sighed and turned away from the computer that she was typing at and grabbed a folder,"Joy Hart went missing nearly eleven months ago. Haven't you gotten past it?"

Obviously this woman has never lost a child.
She looked at Anne's ring finger.. Sure enough a big ring sat on her finger.

Who in their right mind would marry Anne Gruber?

"I demand to speak with someone of higher authority."

Right then Lisa walked out of the sliding doors and glanced up at Addison," Addison Hart!" She excitedly said as she ran over and gave her a hug.

"Someone called me."

"Yeah I know. We have a new detective on the case."

The case... The case was dropped four months ago when the police couldn't find any motivation for an abduction.
What had they thought, that her three day old daughter ran away?

"The case?"

"They found evidence that Joy is still alive."

Hope spurred in Addison's heart, she had never lost hope. Not after all her friends unfriended her, not after her parents stopped talking to her, not even after her husband left her after he couldn't take her talking about Joy coming back.

Mark had said he has had enough of her, that night her packed his bags and left, leaving her alone.. In an empty house just three months after their baby was snatched from them. He always told her that they would never find any existence of their daughter. That they'd never see her again.

The image of Mark slamming the kitchen cabinets and yelling at her, flashed across her mind. He was angry.. So angry. At God, at the doctors. Even at her, if she wouldn't have handed her over to the nurse who turned out to not even be a nurse at all, then Joy would still be with them and they'd still be happily married.

"God did this!" He yelled.
"He has a plan for everything."

"Your right Addison, he's teaching you NOT to hand our baby over to a nurse without them even having a name tag!"

His words had cut deeper then a knife in her heart, she had always felt like it was her fault but now that the words were out of his mouth, she knew for sure that it was her fault.  His flaming eyes turned a terrified upset look.

"No Addy that's not what I meant."

That night he was gone and has never returned.

Lisa looked at her,"They found a box of all of Joy's hospital stuff in it. Her wrist band her nightgown even the teddy bear that your husband had given her the day she was born."

As they walked back to the conference room, everyone that passed all looked familiar, after coming every week after Joy went missing, everyone knew who she was.

As they rounded the corner to the left, a tall man with short brown hair sat at the end of the table, his deep blue eyes deep in concentration.

"Kamden this is Joy's mother,Addison."

He seeming oblivious that two other people were in the room, he continued to look over the box of her daughters belongings.

"Do you think she's still alive?" All though she knew she was it was a deep dark part in her heart that made her ask.

"We won't know till tomorrow." Kamden says taking a glance her way.

"What's tomorrow?"

"A search party."

"I'm going."

"No your not." He says with authority in his voice.

"You can't stop me."
