  Speaker 1: I have always enjoyed Father's Day.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: It was the one day of the year where I
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: could escape from the world with Dad and we could
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: just be This year, Dad chose a camping site near
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: the lake so we could go fishing at fifteen. I complained,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: but I was pumped to go. When we got to
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: the campsite. It was magnificent tall pine trees, a glassy lake,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: and that refreshing smell of nature.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: But we weren't alone. Close to our.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Campsite was a set of two men who had set
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: up camp. They didn't seem like the normal camping type. Grimy, loud,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: and we're constantly looking in our direction.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I saw Dad's jog.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Get tighter and tighter every time they would laugh too loud,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: or even if they overstayed their gaze and looked for
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: a little too long. After a certain time, Dad got
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: up and said, let's go find a better spot. I
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: could feel the concern in his voice, so I didn't argue.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: We packed up and moved to a different spot.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: It was closer to the highway, so we could still
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: hear the echoes of truck horns coming from a distance.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I kind of hated the spot as I wanted to
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: go to a more secluded one. But now, when I
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: think about that day, I realized Dad had good reasons
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: to choose it. After the sun dipped below the giant trees,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Dad and I roasted marshmallows while laughing at his terrible
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: ghost stories. We were enjoying the moment as Dad went
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: on to tell childhood memories of me. I was laughing
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: a lot when suddenly my dad raised his hand and
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: gestured me to stop. His eyes looked all alert, he
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: smiled disappeared In seconds, he whispered to me, Naomi, I
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: want you to hide under the car. I was stunned
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: to hear such a bizarre request. I looked at him,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: confused and asked, what why would I My dad cut
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: me off, saying, no arguments, just do as I say.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I got up and started walking to our car. It
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: was parked under this big tree and darkness. I slid
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: under the car and began hearing footsteps coming closer. A
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: few minutes later, I saw two pairs of boots walking
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: closer to my dad.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I had no doubts it was those two freaks from earlier.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I stayed quiet and watched one of them waved my
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: dad and said having fun. My dad nodded with a
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: casual smirk and asked, you guys need something.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: The other guy responded with a creepy chuckle. Now just
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: came to chall with you, guys, where's your daughter?
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I could see both of their eyes scanning our campsite
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: like hawks. My dad sat down near the fire, maintaining
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: a very calm demeanor, nudging the hot burning coals into
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the fire with a campfire poker. My dad responded, she
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: went out for a fishing. It'll be great if you
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: guys leave. The two guys exchanged a weird look. Then
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: one of them started walking towards our car. My heart
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: hammered in my chest as I noticed a pair of
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: boots coming towards me. My dad got up, still holding
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the poker in one hand, and.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Yelled, didn't I tell you to leave?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: The other guy, who was closer to him, responded, He's
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: just gonna take a pee. Don't worry unless you have
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: something valuable in your car.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Eh.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Saying this, he cracked an annoying laugh.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: The other guy stopped a few inches away from our
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: car and aimed at a bush. I could hear him
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: humming while he released himself. Deep down, I understood why
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Dad wanted me to hide under the car and not inside.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: The guy's probably checking the car right now, trying to
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: figure out if I'm in it. I stayed calm, kept
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: my breathing normal. Once done, he went back to my dad.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Both of the jerks wished him good night and started
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: walking away. I was smart enough to know that it'd
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: be best to wait then go back to my dad,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: because those freaks might keep an eye on us from
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: far away. And the next five minutes I watched my
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: dad work in winks. He got all of our things
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: except the tent. He didn't care for the tent, loaded
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: everything in our car, and as soon as he unlocked
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: the car door, I hopped into the passenger seat. Dad
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: made a call to the nearest police station and told
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: them about two guys following us. We didn't go home
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: from the campsite. We went straight to the police station.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: My dad was right. Those two jerks did follow us,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: only they didn't know my Dad is way smarter than them.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: The moment their car came close to the police station,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: a cop car blocked their way. They were taken into
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: custody for following us and stalking a minor. My dad
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: didn't even flinch when the cops asked him if they
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: were the guys from the campsite. He looked them in
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the eyes and said, you're lucky I'd brought you to
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: the cops instead of li even your lifeless bodies buried
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: in those woods. I try to be as fearless as
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: my dad, and to all the camper's and wilderness lover
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: out there, always follow your instincts in the wild.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Father's Day always hits hard for me.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Social media is crowded with perfect family pictures and people
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: honoring the memories I'm jealous of and can't relate to.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: For me, it's always been just Dad in me, and
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: it still is. He's sixty five now and lives in
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Pinewood care Home with dementia pulling at the edges of
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: his mind. Some days he remembers me, other days he's
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: just a polite stranger in a suit. On Father's Day,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I drove to the care home to pick him up.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: The care home staff were helping Dad to get in
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: the car when Nurse Era came to me.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Um Clara, you should know your father's daily routines have
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: altered since he got diagnosed with dementia. Often at night
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: he wakes up and I frowned and asked, and.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: As if she covered some hidden truth. Nurse Ira replied, I.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Would suggest you take one of our helpers with you.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: It's a free service, and handling a patient.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Alone, I didn't let her finish.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: The patient is my dad, and no thanks.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: I can't take care of him for the next forty
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: eight hours.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: After all, how hard can it.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Be saying this?
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I got into the car with my dad buckled up
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: right beside me. I looked at Nurse Ira one last time,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: and she smiled awkwardly. The drive home was calm. Dad
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: was staring at the streets with his curious eyes. After
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: a long time, he had stepped outside the care home.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: When we reached my apartment, I.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Took him to the guest room, which I decorated with
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: a flower vase and fresh linens on the bed just
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: for him. He sat down in the bed, looked at
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: the ceiling, and then said, Clara, I'm hungry. Tears of
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: joy rolled down my cheek. It's been a while since
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: my dad called me by my name. I rushed to
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the kitchen and made sandwiches for both of us. The
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: next few hours went like a dream. We both ate together, laughed,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: and recalled some distant memories from my childhood.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: It was great to see Dad being dad.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: After dinner, I asked him if he would like to
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: watch a movie, and he agreed. We both lay down
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: on the couch in the living room and began watching
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: The Lion King Well. I was watching Dad how his
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: face changed in excitement seeing the movie. I guess I
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: was quite tired, Hence I don't remember falling asleep. I
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: woke up with a weird silence. The movie has ended.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: The screen has paused in the credits. I looked beside me,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: and my dad wasn't there. My heart skipped a beat.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I called out, Dad, Dad.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: My apartment was in complete silence. I got up from
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: the counch to look for him. Next to the living room,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: there's a dimly lit corridor. My bedroom is at the
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: end of it. I stood in front of the corridor,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: my back was facing the other end of it, and
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I called.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Out again, Dad, where are you?
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Just then I felt someone run behind me, chuckling. Turning back,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I saw no one. I switched on the corridor light
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: and found my bedroom door half a jar. I tiptoed
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: to the bedroom, trying not to spook Dad if he's inside,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: but as I stepped in, I was left dumbfounded and
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: horrified at the same time.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: My dad has opened the big window of my room.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Half of his body was already out as he leaned
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: down looking at the streets.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: My voice shook as I called out to him this.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Time, dud you need to step back.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: He slowly rotated his head to look my way. His
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: face was different. He didn't look like my dad at all.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: A scary smile was spread across his face, and his
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: eyes were bloodshot. You should jump, he said in a
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: chilling voice. Terror numbed my veins.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: What what are you saying? Dad?
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Tears welled up in my eyes. He then backed up
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: and started walking towards me. He was walking slowly, like
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: a baby, trying to learn how to walk. You should jump,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I can push you, he chuckled. I don't know why
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I was stepping back because it was my dad having
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: the worst episode, but I was horrified to witness it.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I understood why Nurse Ira warned me. In the morning,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: my phone was thankfully in my pocket. I took it
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: out and dialed the care home. Once I informed them
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: to come to my address, my dad stopped.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: His face changed from smiling to hatred.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: You want to send me back to that cage, he screamed,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: and then started bashing his head on the wall. I
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: watched in horror as he screamed and continued this madness.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: My body froze in trauma. I couldn't move until the
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: blood rushed in. That's when it hit me. My dad's
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: not well. He'll never be. I sprinted at him and
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: grabbed by the shoulders. Thankfully I was stronger than him.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I pulled him away and he fainted. When the caregivers
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: took him into the ambulance, I was crying like a
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: nine year old standing on the sidewalk. Nurse Ira hugged me,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: and I cried even more. The worst feeling in the
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: world is to see your loved ones on the decline.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: I don't think I'll ever feel excited about Father's Day again.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: This happened when I was eight years old. One sunny afternoon,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: my mom asked me if I would like to accompany
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: her to Walmart for some cleaning supplies. I told her
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I needed a new set of colors for the Father's
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: day card, and she happily agreed. When we entered Walmart,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: I was stunned. It was such a big place that
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: I squeezed my mom's hand to tightly.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Mom gave me a gentle pat on my back and.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Said, love get new colors.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Mom always made me feel good in tense situations. I
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: guess mothers are born with superpowers. My mom is still
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: my superhero, and you'll soon find out why. We began
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: exploring the place, going through aisle after aisle and seeing
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: all kinds of things in the world available in one place.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Coming from a small town, I was flabbergasted. As we
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: were walking around, I noticed a woman following us. No
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: matter which way we went, we would always end up
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: near her.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Or maybe it's the other way around.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: My mom didn't notice her because every time she turned back,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: the woman hid behind the aisles. I thought of telling
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: my mom this, but eventually for good. When we reached
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: near the stationery section and I was about to go
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: through all the color sets, my mom told me to
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: wait here. She was going to the washroom quickly. I
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: was a good kid, so I did what my mom said.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: As I waited, my eyes kept searching for the woman
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: A few minutes went by, and I was wondering why
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Mom's taking so much time, when a touch of cold
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: hands brushed off my shoulder.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Turning back, I saw.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: The same woman standing behind me with a big smile
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: and wide bright eyes.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Are you waiting for your mother?
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: She asked in a calm voice. I nodded my head.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: She caressed my cheek and said.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: I'm a friend of your mother. Why don't she come
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: with me? I'll take you to her.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I looked around once again, then asked, I'm bying crans
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: and Mom told me to wait here until she comes back.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: She crouched down to my face and said, in a
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: weird voice.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: What are you gonna do with crayons?
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: I replied cheerfully, I'm gonna make my dad a Father's
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: daycart you.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Love your dad a lot? Huh.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Her eyes twitched as she spoke. I noded my head again,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: thinking what a stupid question. She then suddenly grabbed my
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: hand and started walking.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: I'm going to see your dad anyway. How about we
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: go see him together?
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: She increased her pace. I constantly looked back.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Something didn't feel right about her, I asked, in a
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: confounded voice, but what about my mom. The woman turned
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: her head back slowly at ear to ear. Grin spread
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: across her face, and she whispered.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: I'll be your new mom, a better mom, trust me.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: She started walking again. Her grip was so tight that
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: it hurt my wrist. I felt like something very bad
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: was going to happen if I went along with this woman.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Just when we were close to the exit, I heard
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: a familiar voice screaming my name.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: And this stop.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Don't go with her.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Everyone in Walmart looked behind me, so did I when
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: I saw still stays vibrantly in my memory. My mom
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: was coming towards me, holding her bleeding head. She could
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: barely keep her feet steady. Her shirt was drenched in blood,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: and I could see her crying. I realized, this woman
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: is trying to take me away from my mom, so
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I screamed.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Too, Mom, let me go, let me go.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: All the other people around us understood that this strange
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: woman was trying to lure a kid in her trap.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: The woman got scared and ran away. Walmart's security called
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: nine to one one, and we were taken to the
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: nearest hospital. My dad and uncle were informed too. When
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Walmart security showed the footage of the woman taking me
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: away to my dad. I saw him turn pale. He
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: immediately reported the cops, saying, this woman is an ex
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: coworker from his previous job who was obsessed with him
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: and stalked him. She was the reason why my dad
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: left his job and changed a dress, but looks like
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: she had followed us here too.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: My mom later.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Told the cops that she went to the washroom where
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: the woman attacked my mom and slammed her head on
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: the wall, leaving her unconscious. My mom somehow managed to
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: get up fearing for my safety.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: A cops tracked down the woman.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Eventually, her name was Layey and she was put behind
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: bars for aggravated assault, abduction, and stalking charges. My dad
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: even got a restraining order against her. But this time
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: we didn't have to change address. To this day, when
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I recall the memory of Lailey abducting me, I recall
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: how brave my mom was to come for my rescue.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: My mom will always be my superhero.
