Jolene had no idea that a man watched her stride across the lawn to her house.

He smirked, assured that she would not grin as she did if she knew his plans.

She was entangled with him in his mind's eye, and he silently sang a snippet of a song he recalled an elder female singing. "You and me against the world.

Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world -- "

His song halted. The older woman in his thoughts turned to him. The smile she had worn left her face. In its place came an expression of scorn.

He felt his mirth leave. He was so small, she so large. She raised the big hand of hers that always found something.

Her hand rose up above him, and he knew his eyes turned to little balls. Balls of fear……

That woman smiled, and he whimpered in fear. Like the fear he'd discovered that Jolene could show best.

He shoved away the woman's image. In its place came the scene with Jolene with him the captor.

Now that he'd become an adult, he was the victor……

Soon, Jolene…
