“Katelyn Payne was standing in the back of Pete’s Bar.” Here were Caleb, Sam, Polly and the tenth police officer. Their attention was focused on a small, shattered window, through which a dark sky was visible, illuminated by the light of the police sirens. Caitlin wondered what might have happened to her daughter. Scarlett the meaning of her life was somewhere far away, in the night, alone and probably frightened. These thoughts broke Caitlin’s heart. Worse thought that the daughter was missing was the thought of who she had become. Caitlin could not forget the memory of her daughter’s last look, which she saw before she jumped out the window. It was a different Scarlet .. It was some other creature.”
