After Christmas, Kathy became increasingly worried about Olivia. She was convinced that her cousin was lying to her parents a lot of the time and claiming to be with her and the other college girls when she was in fact with Adam. She had seen Adam on the odd occasion with other different girls and he seemed to have dominance over them all. She was now convinced he was intent on seducing Olivia, separating her from her family and friends and then pimping her out. Quite why he hadn't been able to complete that plan she wasn't sure, but probably it was how little time he got with her combined perhaps with Olivia's background which was still protecting her.

One Saturday morning she was due to meet Olivia at the mall. They were going to do some shopping and then meet Stacey and some of the other girls for the cinema. Kathy arrived early and was just hanging around waiting when she saw Olivia's mother drop her off also very early. She watched, expecting her cousin to come to the meeting point but after waving goodbye to her mother she stood and watched until her mother's car was out of sight and then hurried off in another direction altogether.

Kathy chased after Olivia on foot. The girl kept running on oblivious to the fact that Kathy was following. Kathy just about kept her in sight. Soon they entered an area that really didn't look very good. There was a railway line with a lot of litter scattered on either side, some shabby one story industrial buildings with graffiti on the walls, a trailer park that to Kathy looked more like a refugee camp in a third world country, and a row of unpleasant looking shops with steel shutters pulled down and large men hanging around by the doors. Kathy wasn't impressed but she had no choice, she was frightened for Olivia. Adam's spell was strong and Kathy felt that whatever game he was playing with her was reaching fruition. Then suddenly Olivia wasn't in sight. Kathy stopped dead. Where had she gone? She hunted around but became aware of a group of men looking at her with not very friendly looks, and decided that she had better quit and hoped the girl turned up again before she had to tell her parents. She began walking back the way she had come.

A car pulled up alongside and Kathy went tense, but the voice that called out "Kathy?" was Jack's voice, but to her dismay he wasn't pleased. She had no desire to explain about Olivia. The Duvals went to a different church and whatever Olivia was doing it really wasn't Jack's business.

"Kathy, get in."

She got in, wondering what she could say to explain her presence in this area. She noticed that Jack didn't seem very happy.

"What are you doing wandering around here? It is most unsafe."

"Well you are around here."

"Kathy!" Jack sounded very stern indeed. "That is not a proper answer."

"I was just exploring that's all.
