They were always found, usually somewhere near the food.Doug had tried to relax, to stay calm, but he could feel the panic building inside him.The place was too big.There were too many people.Lockie could be anywhere. The police were called. It took hours for everyone to leave the showgrounds because every family was stopped. Every parent was questioned and every child identified. It was way past midnight when everyone had finally gone home, and still they had not found Lockie.The head of security changed his tone. The police held whispered conversations in groups. They began to look at him with sympathy in their eyes.Doug felt his heart slow down. There was a ringing in his ears. He was underwater and he couldn’t swim.Lockie was gone.They had lost one.Sammy had gone from impatience to hunger to exhaustion. She didn’t understand what was happening.Sarah sat next to the pram twisting her hands. She did not cry. She didn’t cry for days, but every time Doug went near her he could hear her muttering the word ‘please’. ‘Please, please, please, please.’ It drove Doug mad and he had to move away because he wanted to hit her, to snap her out of her trance. He had never lifted a hand to his wife or his children, but now he had to close his fist and dig his nails into his palm to keep himself from lashing out Sarah didn’t believe in hitting children; she believed in time out and consequences. It was different to the way Doug had been raised but he had come around to the idea. The thought of anyone—especially himself—hurting Sarah and the kids was almost too much to bear.Doug sometimes wondered, after, if whoever had taken his son had hit him. When he did think about someone hurting his boy he could feel his hands curl into fists. He would embrace the rush of heat that came with the anger because at least it was a different feeling to the sorrow and despair. Anger felt constructive. He wanted to kill everyone, even himself. But as fast as the anger came it would recede and he would be back at the place he hated to be. Mired in his own helplessness. There was fuck-all he could do.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Nicole Trope" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/nicole-trope/kids-didn-t-just-disappear-unless-someone-made-them-disappear-relax/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4c0/nicole-trope-12924_children_kids-didn-t-just-disappear-unless-someon_715474.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4c0/nicole-trope-12924_children_kids-didn-t-just-disappear-unless-someon_715474.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4c0/nicole-trope-12924_children_kids-didn-t-just-disappear-unless-someon_715474.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Kids didn’t just disappear unless someone made them disappear.‘Relax, mate,’ the head of security said…” — Nicole Trope", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/anger-came/nicole-trope/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/anger-came/nicole-trope/", "name": "Anger Came Quotes by Nicole Trope", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/anger-came/nicole-trope/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4c0/nicole-trope-12924_children_kids-didn-t-just-disappear-unless-someon_715474.jpg" }, "description": "1 Anger Came quotes by Nicole Trope.
