Tanesha pushed her way through the door into her Nervous System lecture and started down a row of seats near the middle of the auditorium. She nodded to a young man sitting in the row, set her book bag in the empty chair next to her, and sat down. Pulling out her notebook and pencil, she noticed that her cell phone message light was flashing. She flipped through the list of calls she’d missed – Jeraine, Sandy, Heather – probably to confirm lunch, Jeraine, and . . . a number she recognized. Without thinking, she dialed back the number.

“What?” she asked.

“You want her, you can have her,” her mother’s keeper said. “Five thousand dollars.”

“What?” Tanesha’s heart raced. She’d begged and pleaded with this man for years to let Yvonne come home.

“You heard me,” the man said. “You give me five thousand dollars and she’s all yours. Call me back when you have the money.”

The line clicked. He was gone. Tanesha stared at her phone.

“Ok, let’s get started,” the teacher on the stage below said.

Tanesha stuffed her phone into her bag and started taking notes. In the back of her mind, she heard – “My Mommy’s coming home today!” – repeated over and over again. Tanesha smiled and settled down to work.
