The Mother-Daughter Duo

All this time, Woods had been following the pair smartly enough that it caught no one’s eye. So far, he had no idea what he was doing and why. He was just following them while they were trying clothes and reading poems to each other.

Nervous

And in the greeting aisle, this man was standing right next to Brittney. Unlike her nature, Brittney grew nervous, for no specific reason she didn’t want to look at this man. The girl who loves to chit chat and socialize stayed calm. Anytime the man took a step towards her, Brittney was taking one or two steps behind.

The Last Card

Brittney kept the last card back in the shelf and decided she would go and look for her mother. As soon as she kept the card back and turned around, she looked at the man who was staring right at her. Woods too felt that the girl knew he was too close. So, he made the next move.

Making Contact

So, Woods immediately took one more step closer and picked up the same card that Brittney just placed back. He started to read the card and then looked down at the girl. He smiled at her but that wasn’t a friendly smile.  He was trying to get Brittney to talk but she didn’t.

Mom

When Woods asked Brittney if her mom was around, she knew he wasn’t a good person. As no one ever questioned her like that before. She took a step back and said she’ll go now. The man questioned again where she was going but Brittney didn’t answer. As soon as the girl was ready to go, Woods ran into action.

Too Fast

Brittney tried to run to her mom quickly but the man was too fast for her. Woods grabbed her arms and stopped her. Before the girl could do anything, Woods, picked her up and headed towards the exit. It was all happening in the blink of an eye.
