“Shh,” Kay whispered to the baby.

She started moving again, not sure which way to go.

A noise to the right startled her. The play of light and dark in the woods confused her. Was she still moving away from her assailant?

He gripped her arms with an ironclad hold. When she yelled for help, baby Kaleb bawled. Her assailant yanked on Kaleb, but he was secured against her in the baby carrier. The brute jerked harder.

As they struggled, Kay kicked the man’s shin. He couldn’t take her child. She poured all her energy into protecting Kaleb.

When she scanned the darkness surrounding her, she suddenly didn’t see her assailant.

“Kay, I’m here!” Drake shouted. “Are y’all okay?”
