“Eat this, Mom,” she said, handing me a plastic donut.
“Mmm,” I said, pretending it was delicious. I put it down and asked for more tea. Giggling, she poured air into a pink cup.
Someone pounded on the door.
The pot dropped to the table. I slid our pre-packed bag out from under the bed. She clung to me, like a baby monkey to its mother, and reached for her doll.
The door was giving in. Soon, it’d be off the hinges. I hoped we had enough time. I opened the window and my heart clenched.
The FBI waited below.
