SAMANTHA

Day 2

The intrusive blue rays from the computer screen and the strain in my eyes are making my head ache near the top of my skull. The coffee, Oxy, and emptiness in my gut are making my blood sugar feel off. I know I need to take a break from the screens and make myself something to eat, take some ibuprofen, but my hyper focused personality trait has taken over and I can’t tear myself away from the screen.

The white glow of the screen in my otherwise yellow office is sucking me in like I’ve been put in a hypnotic trance.

I’ve been going through Tom’s social media and DM’s obsessively for hours now. I’m certain that the answer to finding my daughter is here. I know that she’s with him. This exact person who has made this profile and messaged all these girls is the same man who has messaged and manipulated mine. The problem is, the person he says he is on this page, doesn’t exist.

I’ve already ran the background check on three different “people finder” websites. They all said the same thing, there is no eighteen-year-old Tom Dillinger that lives in Utah. Of course, I already knew he was lying about his age. That was obvious. So, I tried many different age options. Every one of them in fact, from eighteen to thirty. Nothing.

I’ve also tried copying and pasting his photos into Google to see if they show up somewhere else under a different name, but they don’t. They seem to really be his pictures. Even if they are heavily edited. They aren’t from some stock photo website or from some model agency or porn site. He appears to be this guy. And he doesn’t appear to be all over the internet. Just in this one place.

And now, after hours of reading his manipulative speech pattern he’s been targeting at hundreds of teenage girls and seeing his disgusting pictures and their vulnerable ones that would probably devastate them if they leaked into the public domain, I hate Tom. I hate him more than I’ve ever hated any man in my life. And I’ve hated quite a few men.

I’ve hated less than quite a few, but more than a couple men particularly aggressively, and obsessively.

Tom has just topped that list, however.

I never hated any man as much as this.

There’s something about the kind of love that a mother has for her daughter, and the deep desire to protect her from the ruthless nature of unsavory type men. From the damage that she knows herself. This kind of love can make hate grow roots deeper than what’s healthy or manageable.

The hate that this man’s actions and words and pictures are watering inside of me is quickly turning into an invasive type of weed. There’s little chance of fully removing it.

There’s one girl who is fifteen that he’s been messaging every day. She sends him pictures of her in the shower in bathing suits. She still has baby cheeks, and
