Jess came to a complete stop in front of the woman. Her head turned to see if someone was behind her. The "mysterious" kidnapper trying to take her back and keep her from finding her mommy and daddy. They should be back from the hospital by now and be scared. Just like she was. Nothing was going to stop her from finding her mummy and daddy and baby sister. Because she was a big sister now.
With innocent eyes, Jess turned back and sized the woman up. When she determined - by a 5 year olds standards - that she was okay she answered by saying, "Can you help me find my mummy and daddy? I don't wanna go back there." Her little hand pointing off into the distance behind her. Quickly adding, "please." Her mummy and daddy wouldn't like it if she wasn't polite. Rudeness and bad behavior wasn't tolerated in their home.
