Abducted: The Carlina White Story Page #4

---

Hold on a second,

Mrs. Alexander.

Is there a problem?

Uh, no... there's just been

an uptick in fraud.

We just need to

verify this quickly.

I got cash.

Sure. Thank you.

Okay.

Hold on a second,

Mrs. Alexander.

- What?

- Your change.

Marcus, can you come

to the deli?

Marcus to the deli.

Auntie Cassandra's

gonna get you some milk.

Ugh, we're out of milk.

That's why I

went to the store.

That's why I went to the store...

get my baby some milk!

Yes! Mwah! You miss me?

Yes, you did!

Oh, baby.

What you gonna do with that?

I am gonna make

Nejdra a new outfit.

- A dress and a hat... you like it?

- That's sweet.

- I like that.

- It's sweet, right?

I like that... I like that one.

Her daddy's taking us

out for her first birthday,

and I want us to look

extra nice.

You need to cut him loose

and get yourself a job.

For your information,

Miss Holier-Than-Thou,

I gots me a job.

Well, let me show you

- what we been doin' all day.

- No!

I'll go with you, mama!

Come here, precious!

Hi, mama!

- You did it!

- That's right!

We'd like to open up

three accounts.

One in my name.

One in mine.

And one is a trust

in the name of Carlina White.

And she is?

Our daughter.

That's good planning...

where's the little one?

- Do you see her?

- Uh, Carlina's not with us,

but we're hoping

she will be soon.

Well, our minimum deposit

is 100 per account.

Is that okay?

That's almost

half a million dollars.

What do you have to do

to make that kind of money?

It was a settlement, okay?

Want to get a coffee

or something?

- I'm gonna be late.

- How about tonight?

- I can't.

- You can't keep avoiding me.

I've got to get to class.

How's the studying going?

Carl, I know you've been trying,

but every time I look

at you, I see Carlina.

I see her face.

I see her eyes.

I don't want to be

angry anymore.

It's my fault, right?

We both left

the hospital that night.

You think you're

the only one that's angry.

There's not a day goes by

I don't think about what

our lives could've been like

if this didn't happen.

I'm sorry.

I just... can't.

I just can't.

Hey, what's up, cutie?

Don't you ever talk to

strangers, you hear me?

What do you do if a stranger

tries to give you candy?

- I scream "No!" and run.

- Good. Good.

- Do I gotta go?

- Yes, you gotta go.

Can't you teach me?

Mama can't teach

you everything, baby.

Don't you want to grow up

and be smart,

- like the Huxtables on TV?

- I don't wanna go to school!

Look here...

don't test me today, okay?

Don't test me today...

do you hear me?

Do you hear me?

Yes.

Don't be upset, okay?

Mama just loves you so much

that she wants

what's best for you.
