P ART 2:<\/div>\n
Maisie\u2019s small hand slipped into mine.<\/div>\n
And that was the moment everything changed.<\/div>\n
The Woman in the Cream Coat<\/div>\n
Airport officers arrived within minutes. They were calm, careful, and gentle with the children.<\/div>\n
A female officer knelt nearby.<\/div>\n
\u201cHi, Maisie. Hi, Jonah. My name is Officer Reeves. You are not in trouble, okay?\u201d<\/div>\n
Maisie\u2019s eyes filled.<\/div>\n
\u201cWe stayed where she told us.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cI know,\u201d Officer Reeves said softly. \u201cYou did nothing wrong.\u201d<\/div>\n
Jonah looked at me.<\/div>\n
\u201cWill she be mad?\u201d<\/div>\n
I kept my voice steady.<\/div>\n
\u201cShe does not get to be mad at you for being found.\u201d<\/div>\n
A little while later, the gate door opened again.<\/div>\n
The woman came back with two officers beside her.<\/div>\n
Her name was Brianna Lyle.<\/div>\n
She was the children\u2019s stepmother.<\/div>\n
At first, she acted annoyed.<\/div>\n
\u201cThis is ridiculous,\u201d she said. \u201cI was going to miss my connection.\u201d<\/div>\n
Officer Reeves stood.<\/div>\n
\u201cMrs. Lyle, you left two five-year-old children unattended in an airport terminal.\u201d<\/div>\n
