Chapter 1
RAE KELLER
I stood as still as a ghost, watching, waiting. My legs were shaking so bad and I tried not to think too much on the fact that the fabric of the jean trouser I wore felt so unfamiliar to me, or that my bra and the simple blue blouse I had on really did not fit anymore.
Instead, I clutched a purse that was supposed to feel familiar to me, it was my purse anyways or it was supposed to be. I clutched the simple brown purse till I felt my skin started to tear at the iron, white as death grip I had on it. My legs kept vibrating and not from pleasure. Even my teeth started to chatter in the hot mid morning sun. I tried not to show any of these signs though. Instead I stood as still as a frozen statue as I stared at the red light that scanned me from head to toe. A final precaution of sorts, who knew? Who cared? I only wanted to get out. Badly.
