"Have my children left?"
The teacher nodded. "They have. A man picked them up."
Nora Ainsworth's heart leaped into her throat. "A man? Who?"
"Normally we wouldn't have allowed it, but both of your kids kept calling him 'Daddy,' so we let him take them."
Nora Ainsworth finally breathed a sigh of relief. 'It must be Leon Lynch.'
She smiled. "I just got off work and thought the kids were missing since they weren't home. I'm sorry to have bothered you."
"It's only natural. You should hurry home now. Be careful on your way."
Nora Ainsworth turned and started walking home. She pulled out her phone, only to see a slew of missed calls from Leon Lynch.
She quickened her pace. Just as she reached the bottom of her apartment building, she saw him with the two boys, about to enter the lobby.
"Why didn't you answer? I called you so many times."
Nora Ainsworth explained, "I was filming, and my phone was on vibrate. What are you doing here all of a sudden?"
