Chapter 10

“We have to go back! We have to go back!” Abda was tapping on my chest but it quickly escalated to pounding, as her voice became shrill and agitated.

“What is it? What’s wrong?” I asked, my alarm growing.

“We have to go back! Driver! Please stop! Turn around! NOW!”

“Please, tell me what’s wrong!” I shook her slightly as the driver looked back and came to a stop.

“I- I uh- I left something!” She was franticly glancing at the traffic and the driver as she seemed to will an opening to appear between the other cars, so theirs could swing around. She pounded the back of the front seat urgently.

“Whatever it is we can replace it,” I said, trying to get through to her. We had to make our destination on time. Our continued enrollment depended on it!

She looked at me, pleading with her eyes as she grabbed my upper arms, willing me to understand. “Mi- Mich- Tim! Tim! … I have to go back! … I left EVERYTHING!”

I shook my head, not understanding. “We cannot go back. It’s all gone, sweetness. That was what we chose.” My reasoning did not reach her – she literally looked as if she was trying to shake my words off.

“No! You don’t understand!” Exasperated, she finally blurted it out to him. “My belt! Under my clothes! I took it off when she bathed me but I forgot to retrieve it!”

I blinked several times. First, I tried imagining the last moment we had seen Taylor – in the room when we had been told to quickly disavow themselves of all our jewelry and accessories; she hadn’t been wearing a belt.

Then it dawned on me the type of belt she must mean. “You mean you had-”

“Yes! That’s exactly what I mean! It’s back there and I must get it!”

I leaned forward and pushed the strange glasses up higher on the bridge of my nose. “Driver! Please take us back right away. Please do so quickly!”

“Monsieur, we cannot,” the driver said as he watched me in the review mirror. “We must keep to our schedule!”

“I expect you to turn around, right this minute, AND keep us to our schedule! Now, GO!”

The driver looked over his shoulder at me tensely, but I did not relent, so he nodded, turned back around, and maneuvered his way into a U-turn in the middle of the road as horns honked around them.

Abda threw her arms around my neck and whispered in my ear, “Thank you!”

I pulled her away from me and dipped my head so I could look into her eyes, then I lowered my voice to match hers. “How much did you have?”

She bit her lip and looked away.

I shook her, “Abda,” my voice demanding to know.

She looked back at me, leaned in, and whispered into my ear.

“Four million.”
