Chapter Thirty

To kill time until she met with the reverend, Nola did a search of missing girls in the surrounding area. And she didn’t like what she found.

Nola had just finished the files. There were too many missing girls in Georgia and the surrounding states. They came in all races, all ages, all sizes. Finally, an aspect of America that had become a true melting pot.

But she noticed a disturbing pattern. The girls that had gone missing from the western side of Atlanta, which included Delford, all seemed to be between the ages of eleven and sixteen. And none of them had been found again.

Unlike the other girls who’d gone missing in Georgia, there were no indications of a problem at home or in school. All seemed to be pretty good students. None had gotten into trouble. There were no previous reports of delinquent behavior or running away. Some of them had some pretty horrific personal stories such as patterns of abuse, but overall they were really good kids. Nola sat back, staring at the monitor. So where did you all go?

Nola’s stomach rumbled. She pushed away from the desk. She needed something to eat. She needed something to drink.

And she needed something to hit.

Maybe she’d do some drills. She didn’t have a heavy bag to hit in the house, but there were other ways to get the frustration out. An image of Charlene floated through her mind as well as one of that pile of human waste who’d taken advantage of her.

She laughed in her mind. Taken advantage of. What a stupid phrase. Charlene had turned sixteen a week ago. She’d been legally able to consent for seven days. But she was pretty sure that guy and others like him hadn’t waited until last week.

Which made them all rapists.

Maybe she should go back down to Crenshaw Street and see if there were any other men she could have a little “chat” with. But she shook her head as soon as she had the thought. She wasn’t a one-woman lynching crew, at least not where it was undeserved.

Most of those men had likely fallen on hard times themselves. Many of them probably had lost their way and had just ended up down there because they had one small injury that had led to an addiction that they couldn’t control. In the United States, more people abused prescription drugs than those that used cocaine, hallucinogens, inhalants, and heroin combined. And most of those new addicts took the prescription on a doctor’s orders.

So Nola knew she needed to stay away. That didn’t mean it was going to be easy.

She walked into the kitchen and pulled open the fridge. There wasn’t much, but she would be able to rustle up something. Avad had put a couple of staples into her supplies. She could make an egg and tomato omelet with some toast. She really didn’t want to go out, so it looked like it would have to do.

She’d just placed the ingredients on the counter when she turned her head, listening.
