Fear gripped me, sending a chill down my spine. I threw off the quilt and leapt from the bed, ready to flee.
Caleb was taken aback by my sudden movement. By the time he regained his composure, I was already up.
Just as I was about to rush out of the room, Caleb sprang into action.
He caught hold of me and asked anxiously, Whats wrong? What do you need?
Struggling to hold back tears, I clutched Calebs arm and pleaded, Can you take me to Andrews manor right now?
I was hardly able to stand at that moment. I definitely could not drive on my own.

Now, Caleb was my only hope, and I trusted him completely.
Caleb seemed to realize that something was amiss with me. In a tone full of concern and confusion, he asked, What on earth do you need? Be clear!
I frowned, unable to see how I could spare time to explain everything given the circumstances. Every second I delayed, Abbys safety became more at risk.
I pleaded with him, Please, just take me to the manor. Ill explain everything later, okay?
Seeing my urgency, Caleb paused for a moment before nodding in agreement.
He grabbed two coats and assisted me outside.
Once we were in the car, Caleb tossed a coat at me and said coldly, Put it on.

I looked at the coat, feeling a mix of emotions, yet I put it on without protest. Then I said anxiously, Drive faster!
Caleb sighed, feeling powerless, yet he accelerated to the highest speed. Soon, we arrived at Andrews manor.
As I looked out the window at the quickly passing scenery, I felt a sense of relief.
The drive usually took thirty minutes, but Caleb made it in twenty.
I instructed him to go straight to Abbys place. Before the car even stopped, I opened the door and jumped out.
Slow down, Debra!
I heard Calebs concerned voice from behind, but I had no time to think about that. I rushed to the door of Abbys room as quickly as I could.
Wanting not to startle the child, I took a moment to calm myself. I stood at the door for several seconds, gathering my composure before pushing the door open.
As soon as the door swung open, I felt like my brain was about to burst. Yesterday, the baby room was brimming with toys, but today, it was as bare as a freshly decorated rental property, with no sign of Abby anywhere.

Shock gripped me.
