“Go home,Ma'am,” the police officer said.“I'll have someone drive you.We'll also want to monitor your telephone.The kidnappers(绑匪) might call,and we'll want to keep track.Trust me,these guys can't get far.” But after what had just happened,it was hard for me to trust anything.
My friend Gloria came over that afternoon.“I heard about Gigi on the radio,” she said.“Everyone is looking for the car.The interstates are all blocked.” She took my hand.
“Look here Gloria said.“I want you to have this picture,and I want you to pray with me.”
It was a picture of a little girl sound asleep in her bed.Standing by the bed was a tall,blond angel(天使).His hand was touching the girl's shoulder as he smiled down at her.
“You know I don't believe in that kind of thing!” I got angry.“I'm too tired for any trick right now,Gloria! I want my daughter home!”I started to shake,and then I burst into tears again.
Gloria placed the photo on our mantle(壁炉架) and knelt down beside me.“Just pray with me,” she said,holding my hand.
I had no strength left,so we prayed and waited what seemed an age.Together,we waited by the phone until sunset.The phone never rang.
Suddenly,the front door swung open.I looked up and screamed.
There stood Gigi.“Gigi! Thank God!” I cried,throwing my arms around her.“Where did those men take you? How did you get home? Did the police find you?”
