Sasha sobbed so hard I could barely understand her. “I took Nina to the mall after kindergarten,” she choked out. “She was right next to me while I was shopping, but I got a phone call. When I turned around, she was gone.”
I frowned. “If it happened in the mall, didn’t they check the security cameras?”
“They did,” she hiccupped. “They showed her running after someone. Someone who looked exactly like you.”
I let out a bitter laugh. “Yeah, no. I’ve been in the hospital for days. Haven’t even stepped near a mall.
“I know,” Sasha mumbled. “I saw the footage. It’s not you–it’s just… someone who looks like you: Nina must’ve thought it was you and followed them.”

“She suspects you?” Hayden’s voice cut through my thoughts. He was standing right there, obviously having heard the whole drama.
I sighed, Sasha’s words still swirling in my head. “Doesn’t matter if she does. What matters is that someone’s using my face to stir the pot. Even if Thorsten and Sasha believe me, this is still going to be a mess.
“Why would anyone use you?” Hayden asked.
I squinted at him. “What are you saying? That this is some distraction tactic?”
He didn’t answer directly. “The cops will come looking for you soon.” His tone made it
