Shitty film but good booby traps. I busied myself with her jeans again. "So when are we going to see them?" I couldn't spend all day picking up two bits of clothing. I did a half turn and walked back toward the bed. "That won't be for a while yet, but when I spoke to them just now they wanted me to tell you that they love you, and they're missing you, and to do everything I say and be a good girl." There was a beaming smile on her face. I wished I had the courage to tell her the truth. I said, "Kelly, you must do what I say, do you understand that?" "Yeah, I understand." She nodded, and I saw a little child needing affection. I gave her my best attempt at a smile. I looked into her eyes. "Come on, cheer up. Let's watch TV" We both went back to watch the Power Rangers, with a can of Mountain Dew. I couldn't take my mind off the news broadcast. Kelly's photograph had been on the TV. The receptionist the clothing store clerk, anyone might remember her. Surely the embassy had called London by now, surely every fucker knew what was going on because it was splashed all over the news. No need to wait three hours before making the call.

So why did I stop running? I wasn't too sure; instinct told me that she had to come with me. I doubled back and burst into the room. "Kelly, we've got to go! Come on, get up!" She'd been drifting off to sleep. There was a look of horror on her face because of my change of tone. "We've got to go!" Grabbing her coat, I picked her up in my arms and started toward the door. I snatched up her shoes and stuffed them into my pockets. She made a sound, half-frightened, half-protesting. "Just hold on!" I said. Her legs were wrapped around my waist.
