Hannah had always wanted to live in Florida. She found some inexpensive property in Dixie County, Florida which was known as the least developed county in Florida. Several years ago she had bought the property and decided to live on the property. She had put the property under a fake name, so that she wouldn't be traced to it. There was a dirt road which went several miles before coming to her property. Nearby was the Gulf of Mexico.
Rebecca and Rachel with their children often sat out on the small beach. Usually it was during the evening hours. Some of the sunsets in the area were beautiful. No one was around. No one would bother them. They rarely saw boats out in the horizon.
This would be the last place that anyone would suspect them of being. It had been easy for her to get fake ID's for them all. There was no one for miles around. Since the kids were home schooled, they knew nothing else. The first year had gone by, now the second. Hannah wondered how long it would be before they were found.
She also wondered what happened to the spiral notebook that Reid had which documented the 4 marriages in detail. No one had found the document. She often wondered if Louise took it but then it had never materialized. She was really surprised Louise and her kids hadn't been found.
Hannah took the group to places like Homosassa Springs, Silver Springs and Weeki Wachee. The last trip they took was to Dog Island where they stayed a week at a condo. Hannah avoided Disney, the Orlando area or the tourist areas fearing she would get caught.
"Rachel, you know that terrible man I rescued you from, well Coach Moss knows who he is and he threatened to have the man come and kidnap you. He told me this. He's a terrible person. He also threatened to have Rebecca's parents locked up in a mental institution for using drugs." Said Hannah in a look of horror.
The two women and all the children believed everything Hannah told them. She had them under her thumb.
"Coach Moss had Louise killed. He told me that as well. He found out where she was and killed her. He has her kids."
She had convinced everyone that the coach of the football player who was arrested for killing their father was out to get them and she was protecting them. He had told terrible lies about them.
What they didn't know was that Hannah was afraid of being arrested. She had admitted to finding Reid the three other women he had married. She had played along with it. No doubt this was why Louise hadn't surfaced. She knew that Reid had three other wives when they tied the knot. When the children were older, she would then surface. Until now, she would stay in hiding.
