Chapter Thirty Nine
Maria stood by the car and waited for Michael to come out of the school building. She was so excited to see him after his first day she came twenty minutes early. She looked into the car to make sure Izzy was alright before she turned back to the huge metal gates. She had managed to talk herself calm, but she needed to see Michael to be completely calm. She pulled out the phone Dave had gotten her to check the time again, there were five minutes left and several text and voice messages from Dave.
She hadn’t bothered to call him back, she was sure once he heard her voice he would know she wasn’t okay. The man picked up emotions like a canine police unit picked up scents. She was going to call him back, right after she felt calm enough to, right after Michael was safe in her arms.
