Danielle Chase looked at the girl. "Let's get you to school, kitten."
"Only Mommy calls me that!" the girl said.
Danielle looked at her. "It just...slipped out," she said. How had she known that? She didn't even know the girl's name. But she couldn't leave her alone. At school, she could be watched by teachers while Danielle figured out what was going on.
She looked around and found a set of keys. "Minivan...wonderful," she muttered.
The girl also known as Kitten followed her. She had been told not to talk to strangers, but somehow she trusted this woman who had taken her mommy's place. Either way, she hoped her mommy would be back soon.
Jon's Mother was nowhere to be found, which was odd because she usually didn't leave for work until after Mikey had left for school. Maybe that was different now as well.
Speaking of school, Jon felt an odd desire to get there. He liked school, but he didn't love it. But new nerdy him wanted to go there.
It seemed like a bad idea though. After all, most people weren't likely to show up.
