It was almost 6:00 p.m., and Avery was getting worried since she hadn't seen Nadine and Sean yet.

When Nadine's worried voice came through the phone, Avery felt a rare sense of comfort and tried to smile. "Avery, that jerk, Brad, took Sean away and left me on the side of the road. I don't know where to go."
