Rusty knew what she had to do. She and Marcia needed to regroup in safety. And the mansion was far from safe. Carefully, so she wouldn’t wake her baby, Rusty placed Marcia in a nearby crib. Then she began grabbing various supplies and stuffing them into her backpack, which, thankfully, she still had. With her bag full of diapers, wipes, and clothes, Rusty next located a baby wrap. That was perfect for Marcia!
It took a few tries, but eventually Rusty was able to properly put on the wrap. She carefully put Marcia in the wrap. Her baby, still fast asleep, was now pressed against her chest. Rusty’s new motherly instincts and hormones surged again. She kissed the top of Marcia’s head. Marcia mumbled something in her sleep.
Thankfully, the nursery was on the first floor. Rusty opened the large window and climbed out. Under the full light of the moon, she snuck across the mansion’s large yards and to her pickup truck parked in the driveway. To her surprise, the truck had a baby seat in it. Rusty removed Marcia from the wrap and buckled her into the seat. Then she got in the driver’s seat and contemplated her next move. They needed to go somewhere they could make a plan without worrying about being interrupted. But where?
