( It was Abigail's idea, going back home. The train ride from Arizona back to Minnesota was a couple hundred dollars, but it was worth getting the police off the Gecko brothers' back. As it turns out, kidnapping a young girl paints quite the target on grown men's backs.
She didn't want to go, truthfully, which might sound odd to anyone that was paying any kind of attention to the news or who knew Abigail Hobbs was. Going from a murderous father to being taken hostage by two professional thieves. (What a life.) The original plan was to be home for good and never look back. There was no way to communicate with them. Disposable cell phones meant no phone calls or texts (not that either of those felt right), and constantly being on the move left no address to send letters.
She's never been all too fond of sticking to plans, which is how she finds herself in a small town in Southern California less than two weeks later. (That's right, Seth, she paid attention to all of those plans of yours.) Call it in a hunch, but the black car covered in red dust parked in the back of a cheap motel could only belong to two people, which is why she ultimately sits in an old chair outside the room, opting to toss small pebbles at the window rather than knock on the door. Police knock.
Abigail's a criminal when she's with the Geckos. )
