2024-10-29 19:42:56Lindsey walked into the sitting room. Two policemen sat on her couch while her parents stood in an embrace. Clem sat with his arms crossed over his chest as far from the policemen as he could.
The Detective who visited them last time stood when Lindsey made herself known to them. Margaret’s face was red with worry.
‘What’s going on?’ She asked.
‘They’re here for the DNA test.’ Her Dad spoke. Margaret buried her chest into Trey’s chest.
Lindsey backed up. Detective Luther's eyes shot up, fearing Lindsey would bolt.
‘Is this really necessary? I’m not Leah King! How many times do I have to say it?!’
‘That’s what you say but we have to investigate to be certain.’ Detective Luther said.
‘Mom, Dad can’t you say no?’
‘They wouldn’t do that if they had nothing to hide.’
‘It’s alright Lindsey they just want your hair. Let’s get

Hollow Cove Woods The house had been fully established now Lindsey’s parents were left with the small matter of getting their dream restaurant up and running. Lindsey and Clem tried to help out when they could, mostly Lindsey since Clem had a new girlfriend and group of friends he had to keep up with. When Lindsey wasn’t sweeping at the restaurant she was doing homework with Jordan, or critiquing Serge's far from perfect cooking skills. Lindsey still feared what her Father would do when he found out Lindsey was spending long hours with a boy. School hadn’t gotten less weird, she could have sworn she had three stalkers. If it weren’t for Jordan practically chasing most people away she would have dropped out of school at least until the case was over. Lindsey thought the DNA test would have taken top priority but it had been almost a week and the results still weren’t out. One day a ‘Remember Leah King' poster had been stuck on

Blood & Questions The envelope with the results that could blow Detective Luther’s case wide open sat on his desk. He’d been staring at it for nearly half an hour. It should have been in Hollow Cove sooner but the M.E’s office in the next town didn’t understand the significance of the case. The case that haunted him. It was like a poker game, he was pondering his next move. He knew the results without a shadow of a doubt, but what he would do with them he didn’t know. The office door opened and slammed shut. ‘Luther the results are in!’ Detective Harry said. He’d recently been assigned to help Luther. He was a younger detective with truck loads of enthusiasm. ‘I know.’ He pointed at his desk. ‘Then why haven’t you opened it yet? What are you waiting for?’ Luther straightened himself. ‘Go ahead Harry do the honors.’ Harry picked up the envelope and ripped the top off

Leah Lindsey’s Mom had her head in her hands when Detective Luther left their home. She wouldn’t let Lindsey comfort her. ‘I don’t know whether to be happy or freaked out about this. They’re not trying to take you away from me that’s good.’ She paced the room. ‘Mom do you want me to call Dad?’ Margaret shook her head. ‘He’s busy with the restaurant. I need to find your birth certificate, every hospital report, photo albums and… yes the adoption papers. Detective Luther might find them useful.’Margaret started up the stairs, rumbling all the way.Lindsey shot her Dad a quick text. Lindsey didn’t want to leave her Mom home alone, but her fingers trembled and sweat drenched her armpits. She marched out the front door, hoping her Dad would be home any time. Lindsey ran all the way to Serge's house. She hammered on the door. Serge answered a couple seconds later. His hair

Familiar Faces Margaret stuck the broom under the brown table. She couldn’t wait until all the cutting, smashing and painting was done. They needed replace the broken tiles with a modern wooden floor and brand new glass for the massive window. They had just finished the repairs on the ceiling, half of it was gone in the kitchen when they bought the place. They required a whole new kitchen something they both didn’t mind. Trey held paint samples up to the light. It was just the two of them that Saturday afternoon, the electrician cancelled on them. Despite all the work that needed to be done the restaurant was the last thing on Margaret’s mind. She couldn’t get the predicament her family was in out of her head. Cami had another daughter and didn’t tell anyone. Margaret hadn’t told her parents yet, she didn’t know how to tell her parents her sister gave birth to twins! She wasn’t sure it was true but

Lindsey cracked the door open. She slipped in one limb at a time. The hall lights were on. She hugged her shoulders and attempted to tip toe up the stairs.‘There you are!’ Her Father blasted.Trey stood in the living room entrance in his grey robe, fluffy slippers with a baseball bat in his hand. Clem appeared next to him with another bat in hand, ruffled hair and wrinkled pajamas.‘Trouble maker! You got any idea what time it is?’ Clem added.‘Dad I can explain.’ Lindsey held her hands out.‘You’ve got three seconds.’‘I bet she was with that boy!’ Clem blasted.‘What boy?’ Trey yelled.‘Shut up Clem!’ Lindsey cried.‘You better start talking Clem.’ Trey ordered. Margaret heard the commotion and came down stairs. She found Lindsey clutching her j

‘What do I do Trey? Cami called again. I don’t like this. She’s so calm about meeting Lindsey.’ ‘What did you tell her?’ ‘I said no.’ Margaret folded her arms. Trey and Margaret were at the restaurant in the new kitchen while construction took place in the dinning area. The floor was being ripped off. Trey massaged her arms and sighed. ‘I know you’re scared. You have to give your sister a chance, go talk to her.’ ‘Trey you don’t know Cami! I don’t know Cami. I don’t know the type of person she’s become over the last sixteen years. I don’t want Lindsey to suffer but I also don’t want her to replace me in Lindsey’s life.’ ‘I know, I know. But Cami could come here anyway and barge into Lindsey’s life without warning. Don’t you want this to happen in a calm and controlled environment? Sooner or later Cami and Lindsey will meet.

Lindsey’s Mom had been giddy for the past couple of days. Trey told her it was nothing, stress from the new restaurant there was nothing to worry about. Lindsey semi-bought her story. Margaret approached Lindsey twice with something to say then suddenly remembered she had to unload the laundry or bake the cake she’d been meaning to.Lindsey hadn’t spoken to Serge since she was caught sneaking back in. It sucked because she missed him. His sexy glasses, dazzling eyes and most especially their rides home from school. Riding home with Clem and his recent girlfriend was a mini terror show. Betty was terrifying. How did Clem pick them?She threatened to cut off Clement’s toes more than once since Lindsey had met her. She kept a tooth and nail collection. Lindsey didn’t want to know where they came from. Clem was stuck with this one.Lindsey stuffed her text books in her locker then turned to the courtyard where she’d wait for Jordan to return with their lunch.

Lindsey shouldn’t have been doing it, her stuffy nose and puffy cheeks confirmed it. At two in the morning before the sun was awake and she couldn’t sleep, Lindsey pulled out her laptop and logged in to her F******k. She hadn’t done that in years. She searched Leah’s profile. The realization that there really was someone out there who had her face only continued to pull her in like quick sand. Knowing she’d lived a good part of her life without someone so close to her soul was baffling for her. She couldn’t help wonder what their lives would have been like. They would have annoyed the crap out of each other and made their parent run mad while they were at it.Pictures of Leah fishing with her Dad filled the screen. Acne faced Leah and Jordan appeared on the screen next. Lindsey remembered her own horrid acne years. She watched Lindsey’s life over the last few photos.‘It’s good to know you had a nice life.’ She sniffled.Lindsey logged in to I*******m.

She Has My Face Epilogue
Six months later. Libby and Lindsey were found in the morning. Leah burst through the attic door and found her other halves sound asleep in a wardrobe like little kids hiding after a bad dream. She couldn’t resist but join them. “Can’t believe you guys had a sleep over without me.” Leah said. They giggled until silence came over them. “I think Cami’s dead.” Lindsey confessed. “No, the police grabbed her about a mile from here. She’s beaten up but she’ll live.” The girls embraced just as they embraced each other in their lives. Lindsey managed to convince her parents not to leave Hollow Cove because there was a lot worth fighting for there. Libby moved in with Marg and Trey who were undergoing the process to legally adopt her, but she committed herself into rehab where she got the help she needed. Cami was locked up and was going to stay hidden away for a very long time. “Our six month anniversary is coming up.” Serge said to Lindsey. Lindsey and Serge, Dylan and Leah were on a

Lindsey, Libby and Cami watched as Frank’s junk filled car disappeared into the distance. It was sometime in the afternoon and the sun was slowly leaving them. It would be dark soon.“Mind untying us so we can go home?” Lindsey held out her wrists.Cami sneered at her. “You may have a place to go Lindsey, but Libby here doesn’t have a place to on this earth.”“That’s not true! Libby has me and Leah and my mom Margaret who would love to have another daughter.”Cami rolled her eyes, “Marg isn’t all that. I was the popular one, the pretty one. Everyone wanted to be my friend not hers. I don’t see why you like her so much.”“For one she never abandoned me!”Cami waved her away, looking at the road for which way to go next. “You think if I had been right I would have abandoned you girls?”“I don’t think you remember what it means to be right.” Libby muttered.Cami glared at her, “Remember who’s side your own baby girl. Because in a few hours you’re going to need your fix and only I can giv

She just couldn’t catch a break could she? At six in the morning Jordan got a call from Celeste asking her if Leah was at her place. Leah had been discharged yesterday morning. The day after Lindsey had gone missing. They still had no clue where she was, but the phones at the station was ringing off the hook with sightings and tips all leading to trails gone cold.Now Leah was missing again? Jordan couldn’t go back to sleep after that call. Even though Celeste told her not to worry and that Leah would turn up. How had she left the house without anyone noticing? There were cops outside her house and no one saw her leave?She hadn’t told her parents where she was going when she left the house. In fact, they were both asleep when she walked out the front door at seven in the morning. Leah was still hurting about Lindsey running off to save Libby then getting caught. She felt like Lindsey had abandoned her. Jordan was there when Luther asked her a bunch of question, plenty which she could

Vanished again. Now it was like Camille was taunting him, telling him that he would never catch her. She’d been under his nose this whole time. Keeping her secrets like treasure to her chest. She’d sprung a surprise on the sleepy town. Not one girl, not even two, but three girls who shared the same face and Luther Montgomery hadn’t been able to bring them all home. There was always one left. Now he had one of them safe in the hospital when two of them were in the wind. He didn’t know what to think, but his mission would remain the same he had to bring them home. He wasn’t sure how much he could trust the third girl in all this. From what Lindsey told him she had aided their birth mother in luring Lindsey in, what if she did the same this time? His men scooped out the hospital, questioning staff members and those visiting the hospital. His partner was asking to see the camera footage. He’d be damned his they weren’t working. He spoke to the kids he was pissed to say the least, but at

“I don’t understand. You know I’m Lindsey. I thought you were here for Leah.” Lindsey yelled from the back seat of the junk infested backseat.“You girls so predictable. Your mama was right.”Lindsey scrawled. If it weren’t for the knife she would have bolted out of the parking lot. But Frank forced her into the car and bound her hands with a pair of old pantyhose. Why did he even have these?! They made Lindsey recoil.At least she was on her way to Libby. They could come up with a plan together. Now that she was in the car driving towards the cabin she could see the route they took. Only they weren’t going to the forest. Frank left the opening to Hollow Cove woods behind and kept driving.“Where are we going?” Lindsey asked.He wasn’t going rogue, was he? He chuckled and it didn’t give her a nice feeling.“You’ll see. Just sit tight.”That was hard to do. The town kept moving, waving goodbye. Fear swelled up inside her chest more than regret. She meant to save Libby and if it meant g

“So no one has one of those tiny recording devices? Or ear pieces. Those could come in handy right now.” Jordan asked from the back seat of Serge’s car.They were in the hospital parking lot trying to figure out how their plan was going to pan out.“Well, we don’t have any of those.” Clem grumbled.“We still need to communicate. Does anyone know where we can get walkie-talkies?”The boys groaned.“She’s right we need gadgets. At least to help us communicate. Walkie-talkies wouldn’t be so bad.” Lindsey beamed as if her heart wasn’t racing from what she was about to do.“The police would have been better equipped.” Serge mumbled.Lindsey frowned at him, “Serge.”He raised his hands, “Yes, I know. Sorry.”Lindsey said then looked at her friend then brother. A thought came to mind. “I don’t think we should tell Leah about this.”“I second that.” Jordan said.“Why not? Doesn’t she want to be in on her sister’s rescue mission. Still can’t believe there’s three of you.” Clem grumbled. “One w

After an awkward yet delicious meal with her family, Lindsey was glad to whisk her boyfriend away. With her disturbing phone call with Cami Lindsey couldn’t even concentrate on the food. Marg was an amazing cook and thank goodness too that’s why Clem didn’t contribute to making things more awkward for Lindsey.Her mom loved Serge and he was quite the charmer, but Trey wasn’t having any of it. He especially didn’t like to hear that Serge and his cousin lived alone most of the time. When they went upstairs so they could talk Trey blasted that he wanted all doors and windows open.“Listen, I don’t like your plan babe.” Serge said.Lindsey sat on her bench by the window. She stared out at the massive black forest that spread out for miles. All she could think about were those hollow trees and how her sister was somewhere in them.“I didn’t expect you too.”Serge groaned. He got up from the edged of her bed and sat down beside her on the bed. Her grabbed her hands and gripped them, but in

Lindsey stayed with her sister while she ate until she fell asleep. She excused herself from the room, telling Leah’s parents she would be back in a couple of hours. In actual fact Lindsey was going to cook up her plan to save Libby which meant she would be gone a lot longer.“Oh, there you are. Want to get a bite to eat?” Lindsey’s mom asked.Lindsey stopped in her tracked. Shoot, she thought to herself. She needed to ditch her parents if her plan was going to go anywhere. There was no way they were going to let her do anything alone after what happened especially since Cami and her partner were still in the wind.Trey and Margaret booth stood from the waiting chairs. The wheels in Lindsey’s head quickly turned. She was hoping to meet Cami while it was still day light.“Why don’t you guys go ahead, I’ll grab something from the cafeteria and come back here.”Her parents shared a look. In true fashion her parents reacted the way she expected them to.“Oh, honey we don’t need to go anyw

After calling the police, Leah was rushed straight to the hospital. Lindsey had been checked out too, but it was Leah in the more concerning condition. Lindsey hadn’t stopped shaking despite Serge’s embrace keeping her warm.Her parents, Jordan, Clem, Dylan and Leah’s parents were all in the waiting room at the hospital while Detective Luther and his squad searched for the third girl who had her face.“We should go honey, you should rest.” Margaret rubbed her daughter’s back.Lindsey shook her head, “No, I need to make sure Leah’s okay.”“She’ll be fine baby. She’s in good hands.” Trey said.Lindsey looked across the room where Serge stood next to Dylan. The outcast boyfriends. Serge offered her a small smile and little nod.Even if she went home she wouldn’t be able to sleep because she lost her other sister. Gosh, what would Cami do to Libby? She felt horrible, she was the one who convinced Libby to run, but there was no way she was going to leave her with Cami and her latest boyfri
