'Alicia, I am so sorry.' Mauve's voice was loud.
I went to the living room to see her. She looked the same. Piercing green eyes and a stunning face. There was no way she could have had anything to do with Kolin's disappearance or anything that went on in our family.
But when I really thought about it, I realized that Kolin always cried when strangers picked him up and I could hear his cry from my room but I heard nothing that morning. The person that took Kolin was a familiar face and that shot Mauve up my suspect list.
'They will find my son very soon, I can't lose Kolin. Mauve, he's all I have.' Alicia sobbed.
'You won't lose him, Alicia. He's going to come back safe. Have you called Eric?' Mauve asked.
'Why should she call Eric? Why should she make things more complicated than they are?' I asked.
'He's the father of the baby. He deserves to know that his son is missing.'
