The pounding got louder.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The security guard slowly reached for the lock.
“No!” the girl screamed.
But before anyone moved, the man in the blue suit stepped in front of the door.
Outside stood a large man with a scar across his face.
Rain poured down his coat.
His eyes locked onto the girl.
Then he smiled.
Not a happy smile.
The girl’s body shook.
“Found you.”
The baby suddenly reached his tiny hand toward the glass.
Toward the stranger.
Everyone stared.
The man in the suit frowned.
“Do you know him?”
The girl began crying.
“No…”
Then she looked at the baby.
And her face completely changed.
Because hanging around the baby’s neck—hidden under the red onesie—was a tiny silver necklace.
The exact same necklace…
the man outside was wearing.
