BOZEMAN, MONTANA

8PM

"I finished though," Lindsey complained. Mama Lily was trying to tell her no television. Crossing her arms she raised and eyebrow. "You said if I finished my homework I could watch t.v.. I did all my homework."

"Lily," Anna looked at her scared friend. "It's better she can be normal until we know for sure. Let her watch t.v.."

"Yes … okay," Lily handed the remote over reluctantly. Anna took her into the kitchen as a little kid movie played on CBS. Her daughters words rang through her head. "She said she's not coming for Lindsey. That she has to pay. That she should've told you the truth about Maria. I … I never told her who her father was."

"Lily!" A man hollered entering the house. He rushed into the kitchen pulling his wife into a hug. "I just heard on the radio. Is that … is the girl Lindsey?"

"Yes, Joey," Anna spoke as pain filled her. "Silvia's helping with the case. Apparently this is all related to Julie."

"I'm going upstairs." Lindsey whispered then disappeared. Anna went into the living room. Seeing the Amber alert on Lindsey. She headed up the stairs. Lindsey sat in her mother's old room. She sat looking at old photo album. Anna stood in the doorway watching. The girl was crying. "I want my mom back. I'm not going to see her again am I?"

"I'm assuming that your mother has been rather honest with you." She watched her reach for a stuffed butterfly and hold it close. "I believe you will, hun, but you might not."

"Why would she send me here." She looked confused. "They never sent Anna here. She needed to be safe. Anna never came here. Dad wanted to help send her away but he didn't."

"Why wasn't she safe?"

"Her daddy get drunk and beat her." Lindsey looked up. "He told my dad that she only brought back bad memories. That's when I meet her. He hits me to, always says Julie or something. Mrs. Grindell caught him once. Anna ran to her but she came to me. That's how dad found out. Threaten to turn him in. He promised to change. Made a … a Willows promise."

"Richard." Anna looked shocked. "What was the mothers name?"

"Patricia," She giggled. "But Mr. Grindell always called her Maria girl or something."

"Lindsey how much do you know about these two? About your parents? There past." Lindsey looked confused.

"They don't talk about it when I'm around. They all fought a lot." She let Anna hold her. "I miss my mommy."
