One of the men crouched down and waved to her with a grin that screamed mischief. “Hey kid, come here for a second.”

Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Yvonne stopped in her tracks, tilted her head slightly, and pointed at herself as if to ask, “Me?”

“Yeah, you. Who else around here looks like a kid?” one of them chuckled.

Yvonne glanced around and, sure enough, she was the only child in sight.

Still, they were strangers, and she hesitated. But before she could decide, the group waved her over again and coaxed gently, “Come on, we’re nice people. We just want to ask you a few questions.”

Eventually, Yvonne walked over–after all, this was her home.

Even when standing right in front of them, she kept her little face serious and said very properly, “Mommy told me not to talk to strangers.”

Tinley had drilled that into her every night before bed.

The strange men laughed awkwardly. “We’re not strangers–we’re good people, promise.”

They ushered her into the main hall, sat close beside her, and began their interrogation.

“Hey kid, do you know where we are right now?”

They’d been here a while, wandering around like headless chickens, still clueless about where they’d ended up.

The moment Yvonne nodded, they lit up with hope.

“Really? So what’s this place called?”

Yvonne’s voice was clear and cheerful. “My house.”

Their expectant smiles froze mid–air. For a moment, they looked like cartoon characters caught in a glitch.

Yvonne’s big, sparkly eyes blinked up at them, full of innocence and confusion. And technically, she wasn’t wrong—it was her house. But the adults had been hoping for a different kind of answer.
