The Best Thing I've Heard All Year: Part I

We see this story on news, hear it on the radio and at the water cooler.  We've heard it so many times that we tune it out.  But we so rarely get to hear it with a good ending, that I'm going to tell it here anyway:

Atlanta, Georgia (CNN) -- Police found a missing Georgia girl Sunday and arrested her alleged kidnapper.
Fabiola Morales, 13, was located at a residence in Jasper, Alabama, the Columbus, Georgia, Police Department said.
She was with Luis Garcia, 18, who had a previous kidnapping warrant, according to police.

That she was with a man who had a previous kidnapping warrant at 18 tells me there was nothing good in store for this little girl.  She wasn't "stolen" by a caring relative or even a lovingly unhinged parent.  She was kidnapped by a criminal, and there was nothing but pain and fear ahead of her.  Thanks to some good work done by police, she will get to come home and have a second chance at a normal life.
