150 words~ Paying Someone's Rent
Michael didn't show up at school on Monday, and true to her word, Diane drove out to the trailer park that afternoon. "Phil, he-" Max could hear her sigh from his hideout on the stairs. She had been in a hyper maternal mode since she had gotten home that afternoon. "That's not a place to raise a child. There were broken bottles everywhere, and the whole place reeked of cigarettes." Isabel crept down to sit on the step next to Max.
"They're talking about Michael." He whispered as pots clanged in the sink below.
It would have been more accurate to say "They're talking about us." As her next words were "God Phillip, what if that had been Max and Issy?" she sounded close to tears and Isabel buried her face in Max's arm, "What if we hadn't found them first and they were taken just to pay someone's rent?"
