Girl, Stolen

Cheyenne is at the dining room table, her ankle tied to a chair. Griffin has given her a coke and a hot dog sausage wrapped in bread to eat. He asks how she knows where the food is on her plate. She explains that her father uses clock numbers as a reference to where the food is on the plate. She prefers to make and bring her own food to school because then she knows where everything is and doesn’t have to rely on anyone else. Griffin tells her that he has been trying to eat with his eyes closed.

Cheyenne asks to go the bathroom, and Griffin agrees. When she enters the bathroom, she realizes from a change in the air that it has a window. Her fingers find the window lock, and she slides it up. She tries to remember the layout of the house and grounds to orient herself and worries that someone is watching. She stands on the toilet and braces her hands on the windowsill.

Noticing that Cheyenne has been in the bathroom for a while, Griffin knocks on the door and remembers there is a window inside. After a few tries, he kicks the door open and runs to the open window.
