about how they were almost shipped off to God knows where. She felt like a thousand ants were crawling inside her skin, eating her from the inside out.

Her brows furrowed as she thought about it. Who could have tried to do something as evil as

human trafficking?

No matter how much she wracked her brain, she couldn’t come up with a name for the potential
