Every forty seconds a child disappears. Forty seconds changed Shelby Corcoran's entire life. She lost the only thing that truly mattered in her life, her little baby. Rachel Corcoran was missing. The cops couldn't find a single trace of the bubbly toddler.

After five years, the girl was determined to be dead by the police. While there wasn't any proof, they didn't want to give the mother false hope. Rachel Corcoran was gone.

A tiny three year old had disappeared from the park, while her babysitter was supposed to be watching her. None of the people there that day saw anything. For the three weeks there was nothing on the news except the missing toddler. People were urged to call the number below if they had any information. A picture of a smiley Rachel was shown taken just days before she went missing.

While all this occurred, no one was aware of the fact that in the sleepy town of Lima, Ohio, little Rachel Corcoran was locked in a closet, crying out for her mommy. They would have absolutely no idea that the little girl would sob in her sleep for her lost mother. Or that she would grow up for the next six years without having a single clue of who she really was.

Rachel flashed a smile at her babysitter before climbing onto the jungle gym. She was extra careful because she was wearing her favorite pink dress. She didn't want anyone to accidentally see her panties. The little girl shook her head when she thought about the last time that happened. She cried for a longtime because all the other kids laughed at her.

Today instead of her mommy at the park with her, her babysitter Linda was there. She liked Linda, but she loved when her mommy took her. Linda mostly just sat on the bench, talking on her phone for what seemed like forever to the toddler.

Linda never wanted to play with her. She watched Rachel play, but the girl wanted a playmate. She didn't have friends because she wasn't in pre-school yet. Her birthday was a long time ago, but her mommy said she had to wait longer to start school. Her mommy said she had a late birthday, which meant that she would have to wait even longer for things unlike other kids the same age as her. She huffed and stomped her foot when her mommy said that.

There were a lot of kids at the park today. Normally they were maybe three or five other kids, but today there were lots. Linda said it was because it was nearing summer and much warmer out. Not all kids wanted to play outside in the cold like Rachel.

She spotted a girl with yellow hair. Her mommy said to not talk to strangers, but this was a little girl like herself. Surely, she meant grown-ups. "Hi, I am Rachel." She held out her hand for the other girl to shake. She had seen lots of big people doing this like her Poppy.

The other girl stared at her in disinterest, but took the girl's hand after a few seconds. "My name is Sarah. I almost four."

Rachel smiled at the girl. "I am too."

"Why you so small?" Sarah asked with narrowed eyes.

Rachel frowned at the other girl. "I not small. My mommy says I just right."

The blonde shrugged her shoulders. "I don't pay with babies." The girl stalked off.

Tears sprung to Rachel's eyes as the girl left. She wasn't a baby. She was a big girl. She scrunched up her face and stomped off to the slide. It was always her favorite besides the swings. She didn't have her mommy to push her though so the slide would have to do.

She thought maybe she could have her mommy push her on her swing set at home. Her mommy would act silly and they laughed all the time. It would make her day better too.

The toddler got into position to push herself down when someone behind her shoved her down. "Just go." The kid shouted.

Rachel fell onto her hands and knees at the bottom of the slide. Her first instinct was to cry- rather loudly. Two men rushed over to help. She didn't know them at all. One had white skin and the other was brown. They smiled at her, but their smiles didn't make her feel better. She just wanted her mommy.

"Hi there, are you hurt?" Rachel nodded. "Can I help you with your boo boos?"

Rachel frowned-unsure if Linda would like it. However, she felt the blood on her knee. Linda forgot all her Band-Aids and snacks. If this guy could help her, it would mean she wouldn't have to leave the park.

"Yes peez mister." LeRoy and Hiram exchanged a dark look before plastering smiles onto their face as to not frighten the youngster. This would be easier than they expected as the girl's babysitter wasn't even looking. No one would notice a thing.

Five minutes later when Linda ended her phone call and went to search for her young charge, Rachel Corcoran was nowhere to be seen. She frantically asked anyone if they had seen the tyke, but everyone said the last place they had seen her was on the jungle gym- that was if they had seen her at all.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Rachel Corcoran was unconscious in the back of a van as two men made their escape with the little girl. They would make sure she would never remember anything of her old life.
