Rachel hadn’t seen the woman in time to dodge, so the best she could do now was take a few steps back.

She didn’t even get the chance to say anything before the woman started talking.
“I’m so sorry! I wasn’t watching where I was going!
This is such a mess! Here, let me help you clean the stain.

As she prattled on her hurried apologies, the woman reached into her bag and pulled out a packet of tissues. She took one out and reached forward to clean the stains off Rachel’s sweater. But Rachel didn’t let her. She stepped back with a frown.

“No, thank you. It’s alright.
I’ll do it myself,” she said in a voice that was a little colder than it should have been.
The woman looked guiltily up at her and pursed her lips.
“I’m really, really sorry… I-“
“It’s alright. It’s really nothing,” Rachel cut her off. She just had the slightest feeling that the entire incident hadn’t been an accident. Rachel quickly studied the woman’s face, but didn’t find anything in her expression to suggest she had malicious intent.
Perhaps she was overthinking this…
The woman apologized again before she turned and left the restroom, muttering to herself the entire time. Riley was now looking up at Rachel in concern.
Rachel glanced down at her sweater. Not a lot of the tea had spilt onto it, but it was still enough to ruin the fabric if she didn’t do something about it soon. She had to take it off anyway. She couldn’t go out in public like this.
“Riley, can you wait here for me?” she asked sweetly.
Riley gave an obedient nod.
Rachel tenderly rested her hand on the little girl’s head and said,
“Don’t move. Stay right here and wait for me. I’m just quickly going to take this sweater off.”
Luckily, Rachel was wearing a nice thick coat, so she wouldn’t get cold without her sweater on.
Rachel left Riley waiting for her in the main area of the restroom.
As she went towards a stall, she glanced over her shoulder multiple times to make sure Riley was alright. Once she was convinced Riley was okay, she closed the stall door and pulled her sweater off.
The entire changing process took less than 2 minutes. She walked out the stall and immediately called, “Riley?”
She looked towards where the little girl had been standing; she wasn’t there. She glanced frantically around the restroom, looking for any sign of the child. She checked every corner, and aside from the cleaning tools piled up on the far side of the room, there was nothing. Riley was gone.
Rachel felt her heart start pounding in her chest. The first thing her mind went back to was the woman from earlier.
Was she a human trafficker?
Sudden panic pulsed through Rachel’s body at the thought. She sprinted out the restroom and looked around the immediate area, desperately searching for Riley.
