Chapter 1
Mrs Hudson Reggie mumbled as her eyes roamed through the shelves in the supermarket.
"I really hope Darren won't complain about how bland they taste this time"she said as she dropped a pack of beverage into her basket. She saw her twins' favorite biscuit and turned to ask them how many they might need. A look of horror crossed her face when eyes met empty space.
*************"**********
"Logan, don't you think mom will be looking for us?"
"Come on Lila,we just stepped out for a minute.Besides am bored to hell standing next to her while she shops.we will just play a little at the kids section.Then we can go back."
"Alright, but not for too long.Agreed?"
"Agreed ".
*"***********************
"Have you seen my kids? Two blonde kids? They are twins...Ten years old....?"
Mrs Hudson asked over and over again to so many people and was met with the same negative response.She was confused as her mind raced with so many possibilities of what might have happened to her kids. She hadn't gotten over what happened to Darren and now her precious little kids are missing.
"Mom".
*******************************
"Logan,I think it's time for us to go back. Mom might have started looking for us. Come on, let's go"Lila said.
"I would have loved to play some more, but... you are right. Let's go back to mom."
The kids walked round the supermarket for minutes before the realization hit them that they were lost.
"Lila,I think we have lost our way,.... let's call mom on phone"Logan said, trying hard to conceal the panic that was gradually building inside him.
"No we can't!. Have you forgotten that we left our phones in the car? This is all your fault. We shouldn't have left mom in the first place".Lila said.
"Why are you blaming me, can't you think of a solution to this other than lashing out at me?"
"Uhm.....are you guys okay? You seem lost " A voice said behind them.
The twins turned and their expression was that of someone who had seen a ghost.
"Oh my goodness " Lila said,as she and Logan unconsciously stepped backwards.
"W...w.. what is your ghost doing in a supermarket, Kayla?"Logan asked, petrified.
"Are you stalking us now? "Lila asked
"Wait a minute! What is going on here? I mean.... who's Kayla? The person you came with?"
"You are not Kayla?" Logan asked
"No am not. My name is Daisy. Daisy Williams."
"And you are not a ghost?,"Lila asked, daring to touch her clothes.
"Of course am not. Why would I be a ghost."
"She looks just like Kayla "Lila said in awe.
"You guys seem lost,are you looking for someone?"
"Yes,we are. We can't find our mother "Lila said.
"Because we don't know our way around here"Logan said after getting over the shock.
"Can you remember where you left her?"Daisy asked.
"Yes,in the beverage section "Lila said.
"Alright we should start from there "Daisy said, taking them by the hand.
******************
"Mom"
Mrs Hudson turned and her face turned white.
"K...k... Kayla?"
"She's not Kayla,Mom."Lila said noticing her mom's expression.
"Oh"
"She helped us find our way.,"Logan said.
"We are sorry for getting you worried ,mom"Lila said
"What's your name?"Mrs Reggie asked.
"Am daisy Williams ".
"Thank you so much for this, I really appreciate. Sometimes, this kids can be a Pain in the neck."
Daisy smiled.
"Here, take this "Mrs Hudson said bringing out a bill of dollars.
"Am sorry I can't take this. I mean, I didn't do anything. I just helped them find their way. That's all."Daisy said
"Alright,if you insist. Take my complimentary card then,so that we can keep in touch "
"Ok, I will "Daisy said as she watched them leave.
"Why were they surprised on seeing me?" She wondered.
