Chapter 6 - VANESSA COMES BACKThat afternoon, someone knocked on my front door.
I opened it.
Vanessa stood outside.
She wasn't angry anymore.
She looked terrified.
“Can I come in?”
“No.”
“Please.”
I almost closed the door.
Then she whispered:
“I know where Lily came from.”
My hand stopped.
“What?”
Vanessa looked behind her.
“Someone is watching this house.”
My stomach dropped.
“Who?”
“I don't know.”
“Then why should I believe you?”
She reached into her purse.
And pulled out an old photograph.
She handed it to me.
It showed a hospital nursery.
Two babies.
Two bassinets.
And a nurse standing between them.
On the back of the photograph was a date.
The same date Lily was born.
I looked at Vanessa.
“Where did you get this?”
She whispered:
“Your husband gave it to me.”
My blood went cold.
“Daniel?”
Vanessa nodded.
“But he doesn't know I still have it.”
Then a car engine started outside.
Vanessa's face changed.
“Get down.”
“What?”
“NOW.”
She pulled me away from the window.
A black SUV slowly passed our house.

Vanessa stared at it.
“They found us.”
