Well, when we were at Bobby and Kathy's, Emily actually did a lot of going into her bedroom, closing the door.

But the one thing that she found great solace in were the security guards.

And so it got to the point when we had these guards with us 24 hours a day, and then they went to just a night shift.

Emily stopped sleeping in her bedroom, and she would actually sleep in the den where the guards were.

Right.

I feel that if the police were not with us, the fear factor of it would have been raised exponentially.

I was grateful that they were looking after us.

It was a weird transition, but I'm glad we had them.

The first two weeks, you could almost tell yourself it was a vacation as opposed to being a security risk.

But we knew we couldn't live with them forever, and we had to find some accommodation where we could go.

You're just terrified because is it going to be just the three of us?

Are we still going to have security?

And if it's just the three of us, where are we going to go and what are we going to do?

The reality of it is sinking in because we're not in a familiar place.

We're very limited in the clothing that we have and the things that we have to kind of entertain us.

It was almost as if we were in a prison.

For Maddie to go to school in the morning, an officer would come pick her up, drive her to school, pick her up from school, drive her back, using defensive driving techniques to make sure they're not followed.

If we had to go get groceries, I couldn't leave my children behind.

So we all went to get groceries.

No man left behind.
