The Girl From the Woods

20

Two weeks later, and the police still haven't found anything out about this so called person named Victor.

No one had heard of him. None of the kids at the party remembered anyone by that name being there.

He was a ghost.

The lead detective thinks I'm lying to him.

How did you know his name?

How close were you to Rachel Saunders that night?


And last: Why didn't you intervene?

Intervene in something that was seemingly innocent? How was I supposed to know that this girl was in danger? She met this guy at a party, a common occurrence in these types of situations. There was no way I could have predicted what would happen.

I think that's why the cops are so pissed off at me.

Killers give off a certain vibe of creepiness, and I should have known.

But I wasn't close enough to see.

No one saw anything wrong with this guy.

Except Rachel.

By then it was too late.
