I saw a woman the other day, and I'll never forget her. She wasn't particularly pretty or anything like that. I was putting groceries in the trunk of my car when I looked up and saw her, sitting in the back seat of a car, some feet away. There was a man outside the car, talking on his phone, but I was too far away to hear. 

She mouthed something but I couldn't tell what she had said. 

Not then at least. 

It wasn't until I got home, put away my purchases, and turned on my television that my heart sank. There, on the local news, was the story of a kidnapped woman. She was the woman I had seen. Thinking back to her I realized what it was she had tried to say.. "Help me."
