Christmas Eve at the Exit — Kristine Kathryn Rusch

As Rachel decides on a place to spend Christmas Eve, she can't shake the feeling of being tracked. She knows well how hard they will search for her and Anne-Marie. Rachel knows they will never stop.

But Rachel also knows she needs to focus on the plan, and on making sure Anne-Marie knows Santa will still find her wherever they go. Because every child needs to believe in the magic of Santa -- or do they?
