Glenoak, California:

Heading To Glenoak:

Anshel and I packed everything into my truck and the family trailer. Included in the back of the trailer was his car and both of our motorcycles. Anshel had called his school and told them that he would be finishing the rest of his school work online as he and his sister were taking off for awhile. He would call them when he got back in the state. With everything packed into the truck and trailer, I got behind the wheel and waited for Anshel to get in.

The file containing everything we had learned about our parent's was sitting in the middle console so it wouldn't get lost. We had some traveling time ahead of us, so we made sure we wouldn't get tired. If one of us got tired, the other would take over and drive for awhile. We both had the licenses that we needed both for my truck, his car and both of our motorcycles. We knew that we would need them.

We booked a spot at a trailer camping ground for two weeks and made sure that we had enough to eat while we were there. We would go shopping once we got there and I knew that I would have to make it look like I wasn't Ruthie, for fear someone would mistake me as her. The disguises were in the back of the truck as well as in the trailer. Anshel hooked up my IPod and plugged it into the radio so that we wouldn't be bored on the drive to Glenoak.

Being from Kayenta, Arizona, we knew that we may have a long drive ahead of us and we were ready for the whole thing. We needed to find out who the Camden's were and why I was taken from them in the first place. What compelled our parents to take me when they could have easily adopted me from some other family that truly did not want me? Were they that desperate that they would take any child who's parents didn't even know that she existed inside or outside the womb?

We both needed these questions answered even if we had to leave our cell numbers with the family then we would. Anshel was already emailing the reverend both of our numbers so that he could call us and so that we could explain why we were on our way to see him.

Anshel's Email to Reverend Camden:

Dear Reverend Camden,

You don't know me nor do you know my sister, but we were told by our parents to seek you out. We need to get some questions answered and we were told shortly before they died where to find you. We would like you to contact us and we would also like to know if we could meet. If you have any questions please call us on our cell phones as they are listed below.

Elisheva's cell: 928-667-3421

Anshel's cell: 928-667-3422

[Fake Numbers; Please don't actually call these numbers]

We would be most obliged if you could contact us for we really need to find out why our parents sent us your way.

Thank you for taking your time to read this email and for calling us if you see fit to calling us.

Yours Sincerely,

Anshel and Elisheva Dekel,

Brother and Sister

P.S. We will understand if you do not contact us for you do not even know us. Again, thank you for taking your time if you do decide in contacting us.

Send-Enter

Anshel pushed the Send-Enter button and then shut off his computer to save the battery. We continued to head towards Glenoak, hoping above anything that he would contact us, knowing that he probably wouldn't.

Glenoak Camping & Trailer Park:

Anshel had taken over the driving at Lake Havasu City where we had stopped at a rest stop to take some much needed sleep and a much needed break. A patrol officer had stopped by to see why we had stopped and when he saw that we were the ones that had stopped; he knew that we weren't doing anything illegal. We were two kids, sister and brother heading to California on vacation and he could see that. We had made sure that we had brought our two jet skis as well which were on there own trailer attached to our camping trailer.

He went on his way after I gave him a cup of coffee and a sandwich to take with him. It was no bribe, just a thank you for all the hard work he did everyday. That was what I wanted to be, aside from being a professional photographer of course. If I could be both, I would but one of those careers would have to come later in life because I couldn't do both at the same time.

And we went on our way. We got to the Camp & Trailer park around four o'clock that day and settled into our temporary home for the next two weeks. Everything would go fine if someone didn't mistake me as Ruthie Camden and then ruin everything we were planning on doing. This was going to be the hard part.

Grocery Shopping:

Oh, boy, were we in for a shock of our life when we went shopping for food for the trailer. We had unhooked the trailer and made sure it was settled on its hind legs (I can't remember what they are really called because I'm having a brain fart but you probably know what I'm talking about). Apparently we weren't the only ones that had decided to go shopping today.

From what we had researched on the internet, we knew Lucy & Kevin Kinkirk from the moment we saw them. with my disguise on, we didn't think that they would recognize me as Ruthie but I guess Lucy knew her sister better because she walked up to us and pulled the wig off my head.

Anshel and I bot swung around at the same time and looked at them. Anshel positioned me behind him as if he were protecting me from the two people that were now in front of us. He crossed his arms over his chest and made sure they knew that they weren't getting to me without a fight. They left but said that they would see me later at home where I could explain to their parents why I was ditching school. This was going to be tough to explain to everyone.

When Ruthie really got home and was confronted by her sister, she wouldn't know what she was talking about. And then the realization would hit home and they would try so hard to find us only for us to find them instead. We finished our shopping and went back to the Trailer park and put all the stuff we had just bought away.

And with us not only came the truth on what happened sixteen-years-ago, but also would come the realization that both Ruthie & I knew. We both knew that we were always missing something, something very important. We both knew that a journey for the both of us and our closest relatives was about to begin and we both knew that there was no stopping the true outcome of our meeting.

Camden Household:

When Ruthie got home that afternoon, she was confronted by not only Lucy & Kevin, but also by her parents. They were glaring at her and she didn't have any idea why. They watched as she got something to eat from the fridge and started up the stairs. Lucy started in on her then.

"Ruthie, I'm surprised that you would need something to eat after both Kevin & I stopped you at the grocery store this afternoon."

"What are you talking about Lucy? I was at school all day. You can even ask Martin & Mac. They'll vouch for me. You must have been seeing something because I wasn't anywhere near the grocery store today. Though someone from school did say that they thought they saw me entering the Camp & Trailer park yesterday evening with a guy. Maybe you mistook her for me. Are you going blind already Lucy?"

"Then you weren't at the grocery store? Then who did we see?" Kevin asked.

"I don't know maybe she thought it would be funny to dress up like me and parade around Glenoak so that I would get in trouble."

"That's just it; she wasn't dressed like you at all. In fact Lucy pulled a wig off of her head because we thought it was you trying to ditch school. Maybe we should get Det. Michaels to help figure this out."

"That would be a great idea. I have to get back to the church now, but I'll call him when I get there and ask him to look into the matter." Eric said.

"Good, now can I please go do my homework without any interruptions?"
"Go on, I'll call you when dinner is ready. Lucy, Kevin, are you staying for dinner?" Annie asked.

"We better not; Ruthie doesn't look like she wants to be anywhere near us after our accusations of her. We'll see you tomorrow."

"Alright, talk to you later then."
