Chapter 12 Summary

The children’s phones have been turned off and can’t be traced with GPS. No ransom calls have been made, and nobody knows where the children are. Gwen and Sam go to the police station to answer more questions. Other police officers are out searching for Gwen’s children, but not Javi, who is allegedly on a fishing trip and can’t be reached. Soon, the officers and detectives agree to let Gwen leave and join the others searching for her children. She doesn’t have a vehicle with her, but Officer Graham offers to take her to the search party that Sam’s part of. He claims they’re currently searching the wooded mountains near Officer Graham’s house. It’s raining and cold, but Gwen wants to go anyway. Officer Graham tells her to get his son Kyle’s coat from the back seat. She reaches for it and her hand gets covered with something she thinks is blood. Officer Graham claims he hit a deer earlier and it’s deer blood.

Gwen realizes it is probably not deer blood, and that she might have walked into a trap by getting into Officer Graham’s car with him. She gets a text from Sam Cade saying he’s at the police station and asking where Gwen is.
