Randy remembered how he had shrunkshrinking into a corner in fear afterupon realizing he had been kidnapped.

"Don't be scared,; it's all over now. It's Daddy's fault. If I had dealt with Charlotte sooner, neither you nor Mommy would've been hurt."
Randy sniffled, trying to hold back tears.

The caring words from a long-missed family member finally made Randy feel less afraid.
Once Randy had calmed down a little, Charles cautiously asked, "What happened thennext? You were supposed to be with Mommy when you both left. Why are you here alone? Do you know where they took her?"
Randy shook his head:. "That wasn't Mommy with me."
