A boys' trip with my nephew turned into the chance of a lifetime.

Everything was going great until I saw her.

The girl with rope around her wrists and confusion in her stare.

And an intriguing tattoo that led to more questions than answers.

As unique as they come, from her name to her illness, she had me twisted up inside.

A fucking joke of a name if I've ever heard one.

Only she lives with it daily, along with the teasing it evokes.

After discovering that her family didn't give a crap about her, I decided to bring Bea home with us.

She tried to warn me, but I refused to listen.

I got arrested and charged with kidnapping, and she went missing.

Vanished into thin air. Or so I was led to believe.

They don't want her.

I'll fight to keep her.
