They Disappeared (2012)
“His heart was beating fast because today they were going to get away.
But he didn’t move a muscle.
Ever since they’d found the handcuff keys he prayed that the guard wouldn’t realize that he’d dropped them. Chances were good they would not be missed, because ever since Cole and his mom were taken, the guards had only used the keys once to release Cole’s mom when they took her away.
Cole and his mother had held off acting on their discovery.
“We have to wait for the right time,” ...she had whispered.
Buoyed by the hope of escape Sarah decided they must make their move when their captors were at their weakest.
In the predawn.
“We’ll do it before sunrise,” Sarah had told Cole last night before urging him to get some sleep.
Now he was wide-awake, his heart racing as he checked on his mother lying on her mattress near him.MoreLess
