Kate Oliver leaned back on her bed and smiled. Something or someone is in the woods by the golf course. Sydney looked each girl in the eye and spoke slowly. Will you tell me exactly what happened? Elizabeth asked Sydney. I plan to practice my golf strokes while I’m here.

Elizabeth focused on the terrified girls. Run for your life! the smaller one cried. Suddenly she was nearly barreled over by two girls running frantically.

Sydney stopped twice, waiting for Bailey’s shorter legs to catch up.įourteen-year-old Elizabeth sat in the middle of the dusty road, trying to cram her undergarments back into her suitcase before anyone saw.
