of success.
    As the receptionist announced the total, Rachel’s jaw dropped and she fumbled nervously through her wallet, pulling out bills.   She never expected such a short visit to cost practically her whole life’s savings.   Before she could count out the right amount, though, Rider had handed the lady a wad of cash and was whispering, “Don’t worry, I’ve got it,” in Rachel’s ear.   Her heart melted as she looked at her boyfriend and she knew their could never be a better guy for her than Rider.   The three held their composure till they were outside the clinic and climbing into Rider’s SUV, but as soon as the doors closed they all started talking at once.
    “That was so exciting!” Paige exclaimed.
    “That was so humiliating!” Rachel whined.
    “I think I found something!” Rider revealed.
    Both girls’ heads swiveled towards Rider at his announcement, their mouths gaping.   “What did you find!!!!” They squealed in unison.
    Rider carefully extricated the file from beneath his clothing while he explained what he had discovered.   The three stared reverently at the file in Rider’s hands and tried out the name Jessica Reynolds under their breath as Rider opened the file.   He flipped slowly through her records, looking for clues.   He had no idea what he was looking for.   How could he ever prove his theory?   All he knew was that she was scheduled for an abortion at the exact same time Rachel’s mother was having an ultrasound.   For all he knew, there could have been other women having abortions at the same time as Mary’s previous appointments.   What if his mother had been one of them?   He wished he would’ve had time to look through all of Mary appointments.   And what if his idea was totally wrong?   What if the jump happened somewhere else altogether?   What if he wasn’t a baby at all when he jumped?   What if he was some 80 year old man on his death bed?   The possibilities overwhelmed him and he shoved the file away in disgust.
    “Forget it, this was stupid.   I’ll never figure anything out by looking at this,” he complained.
    “Rider, no!   Don’t talk like that!   The fact that you found this at all is amazing!   It may not be proof but it’s something!   Don’t give up now,” Rachel encouraged.
    Meanwhile, Paige had taken the file and was flipping through the pages.   “Hey guys,” she said quietly, “Check this out.   It looks like Jessica Reynolds had two unwanted pregnancies.”
    Rachel and Rider both stopped their conversation and turned curiously towards Paige.
    “Look, she had an abortion in July of 1998.   What if the same thing happened then, Rider?!”
    Rider reached curiously for the paper Paige was holding.   His mind mulled over the possibility.   It was an incredibly long stretch, but he had to find out.   “I have to go back in there and see who was in the clinic while she was having this abortion,” Rider declared resolutely.
    “Okaaay,” Rachel agreed hesitantly, “but, how?”
    “I left my keys in the bathroom,” Rider offered, “and you have to go to the bathroom.   It will only take me a few minutes to find what I’m looking for now that I know where to look.   You stand watch by the door while I sneak back downstairs.”
    “What about me?” Paige asked, feeling a little left out.
    “You stay here.   I don’t want to draw any more attention than necessary.   We’ll text you if we need you to create a distraction,” Rider replied.
    “Just act natural,” Rider encouraged Rachel as he climbed quickly out of the car and headed for the door.   Rachel struggled to keep up with his determined stride.   When they entered the clinic, the receptionist looked up in surprise.
    “I think I left my keys in the bathroom,” Rider explained before she had a chance to question him.
    “And I’d like to use the bathroom,” Rachel added.   The receptionist just smiled and nodded as Rachel and Rider hustled down
