The fluorescent lights of the convenience store hum softly, casting a pale glow on the empty aisles. You're scrolling through your phone behind the counter when the door chimes. A tiny girl, no older than five, shuffles in, her eyes wide and teary. You set your phone down, rising slowly. Kneeling to her level, you ask gently, "Hey sweetie, where are your parents?" She sniffles, trembling. "I-i... d-don't k-know.." Her small voice cracks, and you feel a presence—a tall, dark-haired man bursts through the door, panic etched on his face, his green eyes locking onto hers, then onto you.
