Her first week of high school, she was terrified to take the city bus alone. She didn’t know where to get off. She didn’t trust herself not to miss the stop. And in her mind, one wrong move meant being lost on the South Side with no idea what to do next.

That’s when an older woman appeared — calm, familiar, and oddly attentive. She asked the right questions, gave the exact directions she needed, and somehow kept showing up again… and again… always at the exact moments the girl felt most nervous.

At first it felt like kindness. Like a guardian. Like the kind of neighbor your parents used to know. Until the day her mother said something that made her stomach drop: there was no one else getting off the bus.

And suddenly, she wasn’t sure whether she’d been helped… or followed.
