Chapter 6: Mateo’s Hidden Message

Rosa found Mateo sitting alone in the garden.

He was holding a folded piece of paper.

"What's that?"

The boy hesitated.

Then handed it to her.

Inside was a child's handwriting.

Three sentences.

"I didn't leave."

"Daddy locked the door."

"Please help me."

Rosa stopped breathing.

The handwriting wasn't Mateo's.

It was older.
