The Abduction of Rosie B

A Komorebi World short story
I'm Rosebud Baden. Sixteen, Parisian goth elf according to my dad, and currently having a ludicrous existential crisis because my sister left for Stanford and took half of me with her.
The cure for that is vintage shopping in Venice. Instead of a cure, I find a middle-school girl buying a dress for a first date with a boy she met on Snapchat. My family has spent decades protecting the vulnerable from monsters, so I know that sometimes a boy from Snapchat turns out to be a grown man with prison tattoos and a waiting Lexus.
I could mind my own business. Here's the thing. This is the family business.
Fair warning from the author: Rosie got the fun story. The books she comes from run considerably darker.
Rosie was born in the pages of The Dollhouse and has been causing trouble in the background of the Dollhouse Survivors series ever since. This is her first time running the show.
