Moving in

Wei jumped into her old beat-up truck when the phone call between Xinya and her ended. As she drove, she started mulling over everything that Xinya had told her. She couldn't believe she was so blind to everything that had happened. She saw how he flinched when his stepmother was nearby, or any woman besides her for that matter. She couldn't understand how she hadn't put the dots together sooner.

Punching the steering wheel in one part frustration and one part anger, Wei pushed back the urge to find that woman and make her pay for what she did. At this moment she just wanted to get to her friend and make sure that he is alright.

The drive took her all of 30 minutes due to the fact that she was driving well over the speed limit. When she got to the address Xinya told her, she was appalled by what she saw. She wanted to get him out of there as soon as possible.
