Charlotte glanced at the screen and saw a phone number that she didn’t recognize. After hesitating for a moment, she finally answered it.

“Mrs. Windt…” It was a little boy’s voice.

She froze for a moment before asking in confusion, “You are?”

“I’m Timothy.” The voice over the phone was soft and his tone cautious. “Do you remember me? I’m Elisa’s classmate.”

“Yes, I remember.” Charlotte was shocked as she had never expected the little boy to call her.

“I called… to ask you a favor…” Timothy sounded like he was sobbing. After taking a deep breath and calming himself, he asked anxiously, “Can you help me?”

 

“T-Tell me.”

The woman couldn’t bring herself to decline a child’s favor.

 

The boy spoke cautiously, making it obvious that he was calling Charlotte without letting his family know.

“I met Uncle Thomas and Aunt Mary when I went out with Grandma today. They told me in secret that Mommy and my grandparents were kidnapped by bad guys. They’re going to die if nobody saves them.”
