Alex sniffed. “So what then?”

Rusty got on his feet and cupped her face between his palms. “We dipped into our savings and hired a detective to search for you. We figured they have better luck at finding you than we did. He reported to us that you were living in a youth hostel close to the college you were to attend. I don’t know how we missed that place when we went there on our own. Maybe because it was one town over and we didn’t think of going there, but we were so thankful to know you were safe. Could you tell us how you came to be there?”

“Well, when my grandmother kicked me out, I only had a half hour to pack my belonging and get out. I had a lot of things I’d purchased to take with me that I had to leave behind. I stayed in the motel that night because I couldn’t leave town without going to the bank so that I could withdraw my savings. I was going to need it to find cheap lodging because I wouldn’t be allowed to move into the dorm for some weeks. I got my money and bought a bus ticket. I learned about the youth hostel when I arrived at my destination and I stayed there for about a week until I saw a flyer for a room that was closer to campus and it was in a safe area.”

Cash relinquished his hold and turned her around until she faced him. “Finding that room wasn’t a coincidence, Alex.”

Her eyes grew big. “What are you talking about?”

Cash gently wiped away the tracks of her tears with his thumb. “As luck would have it, one of our father’s old fraternity brothers lived in the area so we called in a favor to get him to help you find a place until you could move to the dorms on campus. He knew someone who rented out rooms in their house to college students on the cheap. That mysterious flyer you found advertising that room you wound up in, came from the guy we hired. Since the PI’s report, we’ve known exactly where you’ve been all along, making sure you were okay. So you see, we never really left you. It’s how we knew how to find you, how we’ve always known how to find you.”

“But, I contacted you both. I called and I sent you emails and neither one of you responded. I gave up trying when I got a response saying your phones were out of service. I figured you blocked my number.”

“We would never do that you. It wasn’t until we began this discussion did I realize what actually happened and why we didn’t answer our phones. Neither one of us could figure out why that was, but then I remembered around that time, we had switched service providers where we got a cell phone and internet service in one package. Our emails changed and we weren’t able to keep our old phone numbers.
