I rush over to the boy Amber was sitting with. "Who was that woman and why was she taking my daughter?" I demand.
He looks a little overwhelmed, but replies, "Wait, I thought she was Amber's mom."
"No, she's the one who wants to kill Amber."
"That explains a lot."
I take him to Regina's house. He starts to explain, "I met Amber on the street yesterday. I asked her out and she said things were complicated, so I followed her. That woman yelled at Amber and then sent her away. Amber showed up for our date, and that woman came and dragged her out."
I start to retell my side of the story. "I was at Granny's, but I didn't know Amber was there. Then Jasmine came and dragged her out."
"Well we need to figure out what's going on before we act," Regina says.
"Agreed," I respond.
"I'll go talk to Jasmine, see if there's a way to free Amber," says the boy.
He runs out the door before we can stop him.
"What do we do now?" I ask.
"We wait."
