oden arranged for jaaana to recieve prenatal checkup at a free clinic migrants . her pregnancy was uncomplicated . he visited the ranch on his days off . when he was there , he doted on her . but he slept in the second bedroom .
jaanaenjoyed her new home . she was as wary of seeing strangers as oden was . unlike her friend's decrepit shack , the ranch house was relative3ly modern , and air conditioned . she had a tekevision . other than the isolation -oden refused to let her have a phone3 or a computer - she convinced hereself that she was better off in kingman than she had been in bullhead city .
her baby would be in a citizen .
a month before jaana was due , oden quit his job with the park service so he could be with her , he moved into the house in kingman . he convinced himelf that she was warming to him . he udsed his freee time to take courses to become an insurance agent .
jaana give birth to a son with the aid of a midwife .
almost immediately after the child was born , lincoln oden knew that everything had changed for jaana .
he had conversations with himself . they all eneded with him telling himself he should walk aawway . that hisplan hadn't worked .
he didn't walk away .
the day that jaaana's friend arrrived to rescue her from her captivity in ikingman , oden was parked out of sight , waiting , jaana thought he was in town , on errands .he'd parked in thesame spot down the road every ime he'd left the ranch for five days . expecting that the estonian girlfriend would come .
when oden drove away from the little ranch an hour later , the baby asleep in his infant carrier in the middle of the backseat of the car .
jaana and hr friend were in the trunk .
