Dinner was an enjoyable affair that night. Anya breastfed the twins after she was done with dinner.

The young woman was playing with Eudora and Nathaniel when Ellie came out of the kitchen. She was just done with the dishes. “I’m going to buy some fruits from the grocery store nearby”

Anya took a look at the time. It was half past seven. “I do it”

It was still early

“You’ve been working late for the past few days. You must be exhausted. Besides, you haven’t been spending much time with the kids recently You should spend more time with them*

“Why don’t we bring them along?” Anya said after some thought

“They hardly get out of the apartment with me. They’ve spent the last year cooped up in the house.”

“Wouldn’t that be.” Ellie was worried that they might run into someone they didn’t want to run into.

“The grocery store’s right around the comer I don’t think we’ll bump into him there, Anya said as she tugged her kids gently to their feet “Come on, sweethearts, Mommy’s gonna bring you out. We’re buying some fruits”

Eudora and Nathaniel beamed with delight when they heard what their mother had said. They couldn’t wait to get out of the

apartment with their mother.

“Let’s go.” Anya said as she reached for Eudora’s hand

Ellie couldn’t stop Anya. She grabbed Nathaniel’s hand and went downstairs with Anya.

It didn’t matter that it was a short trip to the grocery store. The family rarely had an opportunity to go out together. Ellie might bring Eudora and Nathaniel along with her when she went out for groceries, but this was the first time the twins were getting groceries with their mother.

The kids were jumping with joy

They wouldn’t leave Anya’s side and wouldn’t stop blabbering garbled and unintelligible words to her.

The owner of the grocery store had never seen Anya with the twins. She had had the impression that the beautiful young woman was still single. She had not expected her to be a mother of two. In fact, she hadn’t expected Anya’s kids to be so pretty

They looked like dolls.

Other patrons in the store shared the same sentiment. They couldn’t stop themselves from approaching the adorable children and playing with them

Anya and Ellie left the twins alone with the other patrons. They seemed friendly and appeared to like the twins.

The two women headed towards the fruits and started picking what they wanted. The folks who patronized the grocery store lived in the neighborhood. They wouldn’t hurt their kids.

At least, that was what Anya thought. She was still young and naïve.

Asso

soon as she and Ellie turned around, a strange woman made a grab for Eudora.

Nathaniel could talk. The woman dared not make a grab for him, lest he say something.

The boy panicked as he watched a stranger abduct his sister. There was no way he could catch up with her. He turned around and burst into tears. The boy wailed loudly for his mother. His loud cries drew the attention of everyone in the store.

That was adorable young girl whom they had been playing with a moment ago was gone.

hon everyone realized that t

Anya whirled around as soon as she heard Nathaniel’s cries. Her eyes landed on her son. Her daughter was nowhere in sight.

The young woman hurried over towards the boy with her aunt. “Nathaniel, where is Eudora?”

Nathaniel didn’t know many words. He stuttered as he tried to tell his mother what had happened. “A stranger… took…

sister…

“Dora’s gone.

The boy wailed loudly.

Tears streamed down Anya’s cheeks when she realized what had happened. Her precious daughter had been abducted. Someone had stolen her daughter from her. Voices rose around her as soon as the folks around her realized what had happened too. “Somebody, call the cops!”

“I saw a woman in her forties leaving the store with the girl,” someone else said. “She headed left after leaving the store.. You should go after her.”

Anya stopped crying. She pushed Nathaniel into Ellie’s arms and raced out of the store. She was going to get Eudora back.

She took a left turn after racing out of the store. In the distance was a woman with her daughter in her arms. They hadn’t gone that far.

All thoughts fled Anya’s head. She started running

after the couple with all her might, yelling at the top of her voice as she tried to catch up with her daughter’s kidnapper. “Somebody, help! Someone took my kid! Help me! That lady in a brown vest, Somebody, stop her!”

Her words stopped everyone in their tracks. They couldn’t believe it. Someone had tried to abduct a child in broad daylight.

No one was going to stand by and let that happen. Some of them began running after the kidnapper.

Some pulled their phones out and called the cops.

Anya kept running. The kidnapper finally started running as well.
