She is surprised by how much she likes her new location where authorities placed her. Fairhope, Alabama, is a quaint, Southern town with homes and shops showing character and individualism.

Henrietta is the daughter of Walter Johnson, employed for years by Mrs. Forester as a gardener/handyman. Walter, sent to pick up Suzy at Mobiles airport, is told by authorities there that the child has been claimed by a look-alike Mrs. Forester with correct identification. On the causeway driving back to Fairhope, Walter insists a bat attacked his windshield, causing his car to run into a ditch. He is hospitalized with bumps, bruises, and an extremely low blood count. Later, others in Fairhope fall prey to this strange malady, including Audrey. In the meantime, while settling in Fairhope, Audrey wonders if there is some magical ingredient in the water, for she is surrounded by extraordinarily handsome men. First is demanding neurosurgeon, Dr. Alex Poynter, the primary one she assists in OR, and two detectives, Miller and Dennis. These two detectives question her actions in Suzys kidnapping and in the vampire bat incidents.
