To kidnap Ranis required a delicate approach, but after the brute fashion of the other two she almost felt ready to just use logic to convince the boy to come with her.
Liet wasn't anything like a child molester; she didn't have a trashy white van, just herself, and she hoped it would be enough to convince this one kid. She brushed off her pants and got up out of the bush where she had been sitting. The kid was home alone, or at least without any significant adult supervision. That made it even easier to do as she intended, and lure this one away. Her prop, a copy of the bible, weighed heavily in her pocket.
This was the only one, she thought, where she would feel bad later about what she had done. With great trepidation, she raised her hand and knocked three times on the door, loudly and with a firmness of purpose she didn't quite feel.

Ranis had been watching the woman through a window like a feline. His eyes were narrowed in the light and his ears flickered to get more information about his surroundings. The glittering letters "Holy Bible" caught his eye and he felt excitement swell in him.
He was already running to the door before the stranger knocked and he threw open the door like a child greedily opening a Christmas present. Never mind the the boy already had five bibles, each in a different translation, he wanted that one.
He didn't wait for the woman to speak, he grabbed for the holy text like a savage child.
" Oh my Gosh! What version is it? Is it Holman? What about New Living? Is it that comic book one? I don't have those! Lemme see!" he cried out in jubilation.

She let him have it. With a silent sigh of relief, she ran the back of her hand against her forehead nervously. "Come with me," Liet told him, moving one hand to rest on his shoulder. "You can keep the bible." Her other hand she held out to him; unlike the others, she didn't feel the need to threaten this one. Already he seemed to be halfway around her little finger, so why push it? She forced a cheerful smile onto her face.
