even if he could do it tonight, though.  From what I saw, his attention was entirely on Kim.  Were you able to pull any prints off of her shoe?”
    When Ben pushed the elevator button, the doors instantly rattled open.  He put his hand gently on her back and ushered her in before stepping in himself.  “The one adult sized one we pulled was Lori's,” he said.  “There were quite a few that were partially smeared, but they all came back to Harper.  He really did put up one hell of a fight, didn't he?”
    Rilynne nodded, thinking back to the strength that had been behind his grip on Kim's leg.  The man had to knock him down just to get away.  “How do you have Harper's prints?” she asked after a few moments.
    “Lori had both his and Kim's logged into the system,” he explained.  “We were talking about setting up a program to have all of the children in town printed in case a situation like this one ever came up.  It's still being debated, but Lori decided she liked the idea and brought both kids in.”
    Rilynne avoided meeting anyone's eye as they walked through the crowded lobby for fear that someone would ask her for an update on the case.  She didn't want to admit aloud that they still had nothing.  She was relieved moments later when they stepped out onto the street without anyone approaching them.
    “She's always been cautious when it came to the kids.  That's why it's so hard to believe that this happened.  This is a small town; these kinds of things aren't supposed to happen in places like this,” she said.
    Even talking about it made her feel like she was going to break down again.  She took in a deep breath and let it back out slowly in an attempt to steady herself.  Surprisingly, it worked.
    Ben pulled her car door open and smirked down at her as she sat down.  “This coming from the woman who's been grabbed three times,” he chortled.  He shut the door before she could respond.
    “That's completely different,” she said as soon as he pulled his own door open.  “Besides, one of them wasn't in Addison Valley.”
    “You're right,” he said.  “That one was in an even smaller town.  I'm beginning to think you're a magnet for people wanting to take you.”
    Rilynne shrugged and laugh.  “What can I say?  People just want me.”
    When she realized what she was doing, her expression abruptly hardened.
    “It's okay to laugh,” Ben said gently.  She looked up and found an empathetic look on his face.  “I know how much you're hurting right now and how helpless you feel.  You can't focus solely on that, though.  Not only will it drive you crazy, it'll make it all the more difficult for you to do what you need to do in order to find her.”
    She knew he was right, but she still felt only guilt.
    “It's actually four,” she said, trying to distract herself.  She looked over to find a puzzled look on his face, so she continued.  “I was grabbed when I was a teenage, too.  It wasn't like this, though.  I was playing detective and snooping around in a situation I probably shouldn't have been anywhere near.  Needless to say, my surveillance skills weren't as honed as they are now, and I ended up getting spotted.”
    “What happened?” Ben asked curiously.
    She spent the rest of the drive going over the details of the case and the time she spent with her captors.  By the time she finished, they were walking through her front door. 
    Rilynne draped her dress over the back of a dining room chair and walked into the kitchen.  She knew she needed to eat something.  Kim had been taken before dinner was served, though even the thought of eating at that moment turned her stomach.  She pulled the refrigerator open only to close it again after a few moments.
    “Come on,” he said, taking her by the hand and leading her out the backdoor.  Without needing to ask, she knew exactly where he was taking her.  It was the same place he took her every time something was
