Zoe Sawyer had a puzzled look on her face, but she didn't slow down, quickly following Heath Hale to another office.
Sean Hughes was worried, so he followed them.
Inside the office, a middle-aged woman paced back and forth, her eyes darting to the door while she nervously patted something in her pocket.
Elder Crowe, who was sitting opposite her, noticed these reflexive movements and slowly ran his fingers along the rim of his cup.
Just as the three of them reached the doorway, a middle-aged woman suddenly lunged toward them.
She grabbed Sean Hughes's arm in a death grip. "Zoe Sawyer? You're Zoe Sawyer, right?! Go save my child! They said they'll send our children back if you just go to them!"
Evan Keller stepped forward, separated the woman from Sean Hughes, then stared at her and asked, "Who told you this? Why didn't you tell us everything when you first filed the report?"
