“You take cream, right?”
“Good memory,” said the agent. He accepted the coffee, then took his notebook from his pocket. “So, we’ve monitored his bank accounts and credit cards. No activity at all since the disappearance. There were no unusual withdrawals during the previous year. We’ve circulated his photo but nobody has come forward. Hospitals. Morgues.”
Her eyes stung, but she was cried out.
He shifted in his seat. “Is there anything new you can tell me?”
“I remembered something. He started going to this church a few weeks before…before…”
She handed him the pamphlet she’d found in the closet.
The worst kind of abduction. Well done.
Dear Josh,
So many questions. Good job…as always.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Oho! That ending opens up the story!
They need to get down to that church right away.
Oh no, not that, but at least there is a clue and the mystery can be solved?
Nah. If it was a cult, they would have cleaned out his bank account.
Oh, oh, did he go off chasing Hale-Bopp?
Scary! well done. Thanks
Excellent twist. Those “churches” do make a lot of folk disappear, don’t they?
A divine intervention indeed!
Am I missing a link to the rest of the story? It seems to stop at the word “hospital”.
That’s the preview. You have to go to the site to see the whole story. Thanks for stopping by
What is there in the pamphlet? Has he disappeared from the church?
The idea was open-ended. You could have been kidnapped by the church oh, he could have joined a cult, or he could have been raptured. It’s all up to the reader. Thanks for reading
Ooooh, that ending seems to be the beginning of a new mystery.
You s”how that she cares enough to pay someone, to search for her missing loved one. Her eyes stung, but she was all cried out.” This church pamphlet looks to be a promising lead. Your PI’s lack of people skills could prove comedic.
A cult? A scam, posing as a legitimate church? Lots of possibilities here. Good story.
I took the bait and loved it!! More!
The story is about to take off. Wonderful.
Beware of people leaving pamphlets on your door.
Great mystery.
