Go to the police
The police also ask you about yourself: your name, where you come
from, who your parents are. You are embarrassed because you can't
remember anything. They talk among themselves, and finally they say
they will drive you to the state capital and put you in a halfway
house there for foster kids.
When you get to the halfway house you are very tired. One of the
people in charge there shows you to your new room, and you hit the bed
and fall asleep in seconds.
The next morning, the man who showed you to your bedroom wakes you up
and takes you downstairs to the cafeteria, where lots of kids of all
ages are eating breakfast. They are curious about you, but when you
show them that you don't want to talk about your past, they back off
the subject and talk about themselves instead. You quickly start to
become friends with one of them, a 14-year-old boy named Tom. He
invites you to go to the movies with him and his 15-year-old friend
Anna that afternoon.
"I didn't run away to get away from my parents," you tell
Sheila, "I ran away from this man who was trying to kill
me." You tell her about the man who kidnapped you. Sheila looks
horrified and calls 911. The police take you to the station, where
you are asked lots of questions about the man who kidnapped you and
what he looked like, what kind of car he drove, etc. Sheila leaves in
the first minute, saying that she has to get back to her mom.
