CHAPTER SIXTY–ONE–1
HAILEY
It was a nightmare.
A living nightmare, and one that would haunt me for the rest of my life. It was not a dream, and there was no escaping reality.
The moment those words left her lips, I was frozen. The only thing that was running through my mind was my baby.
A tortured scream left my lips as I felt a pain unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. My heart was being ripped apart and was shattering into a million pieces.
“Help! Please, someone help me! Someone has taken my son, please!”
The teacher immediately went into action, calling the principal and security guards.
But, none of that mattered.
Liam was gone.
My baby was gone, and there was nothing I could do about it. They were careless and incompetent, and didn’t take their job seriously.
They didn’t protect him, and didn’t do their job.
And now, my son was gone, and could be anywhere. He could be hurt, or worse.
He could be dead.
My knees buckled, and I collapsed. This couldn’t be happening. Not my baby.
“Why would you allow a total stranger who I didn’t give permission to come pick my son?! I am his only legal guardian and my best friend is the only one asides me who is allowed to take him from school! Why did you let this happen?! WHY?!”
“I’m sorry, Ms. Anderson. We thought Liam was familiar with him. He said they were friends, we didn’t imagine that you didn’t know him.”
“Oh, is that right? Is that fucking right?! I’m his mother, and no one is allowed to take him except for me or his aunt! I fucking trusted you, and look what happened! Now, he’s gone and God knows where, or what happened to him!”
“Ms. Anderson, please. We will find him. I’ve contacted the police, and they are on their way.

You have to calm down-” The stupid teacher said and I saw red

“Calm down? Calm down?! Who the hell are you to tell me to calm down?! You’re the reason my son is gone, and why he’s probably dead somewhere. He’s not your kid, and you are not the parent, so don’t fucking tell me to calm down, when my child has been kidnapped! Don’t you dare speak to me like that, and don’t you dare speak down to me! What the fuck were you thinking, letting a stranger take my son?!”
“I’m really sorry, Ms. Anderson. But, I’m not going to stand here and watch you disrespect me ma’am.”
“You’ve got to be kidding me, right now. Are you really trying to justify the fact that you didn’t do your job? You didn’t even bother calling me, and the least you could have done was contact his aunt! So, don’t stand here and speak to me about respect, and how I should be speaking to you. You don’t deserve an ounce of respect, and the least you could have done was protect him. That’s what I pay this damn school for. For him to be safe, and to have peace of mind. But, no. Instead, I’m standing here, crying because some idiot didn’t do her job and my son is missing! Do you understand that?!”
“Look, Ms. Anderson. We’re sorry. We’ll do everything in our power to find him.”
“Everything will be too late, if you don’t find him right now! I will hold you responsible for what happens to him, and I swear, if anything happens to my son, your career will end. And not only that, but you will suffer the consequences. I promise you, you will pay dearly for what you’ve done.”
She stared at me, and I didn’t bother sparing her another glance.
Because, this was not the time.
The principal arrived, and as much as I wanted to rip her a new one, she wasn’t the person responsible for Liam’s disappearance.
“I’m so sorry, Ms. Anderson. I just got the call, and was unaware that Liam was missing. I am highly disappointed to hear about the negligence of the staff, we have never had an issue like this before. She’s a new foreign teacher from another country, and we didn’t set the rules to her yet. This is her first week here.”

CHAPTER SIXTY–ONE–2
“Well, if this has never happened before, and if they were doing their jobs, then this would have never happened! He’s gone, and there’s no sign of him! My son is gone, and it’s all because of them!”
“Please, Ms. Anderson. They’re trying their best to locate him. If we can all work together, we can find him. I understand that this is a very difficult time, but-”
“I don’t care! All I know is my son is gone, and there’s no trace of him. It’s getting dark, and the longer we take, the less likely we are going to find him! Do something about it, and start searching for him. Start checking the security cameras, and figure out who took him. Please, just find my s–son…” I finally broke, and burst into tears.
She immediately rushed over, and tried to comfort me.
“We will. Just give us some time. The police have arrived, and we will work closely with them. We will find him, and will do everything in our power to help. The borders have all been closed, and searches have begun. Please, just stay calm, and don’t worry. We’ll find him, Ms. Anderson.”
“I h–hope so. I can’t live without him, and if anything happens to him… God, help me, please. Find my baby, please.”
“We will, Ms. Anderson.”
I sat on an empty bench, feeling the heaviness on my shoulders. The police were questioning the staff and teachers, and were doing their own investigation.
And all I could think about was him.
My precious little boy.
I could feel the tears falling, and tried to keep myself calm.
But, it was impossible.
The pain was unlike anything I’ve ever felt, and it was unbearable. Since I birthed him, I’ve never had a situation like this and I have no idea how to handle the kind of pain I was feeling, the kind of hollowness in my heart.
I had never imagined something like this would ever happen, and didn’t think it was possible. I had protected him for six years of his life and have done everything in my power to make sure that he was safe.
“KAPILA, MIXTY VANT À My son was missing.
And it was all my fault.
“Ms. Anderson?”
+25 Points!
I looked up and saw a police officer approaching me. I wiped my tears, and stood up, meeting his gaze.
Now, he was gone, and there was no sign of him anywhere. I felt like a failure, I felt like a
terrible mother.
If anything happens to him, I will never forgive myself. I have failed him, and let him down.
“We are doing everything we can, and are doing our best to find him.”
“You haven’t found him yet, have you?”
He was silent, and that was all the answer I needed.
