Deadly obsession-3
P.D.-“We’re saying that you might give them the benefit of the doubt but we can take your report if you insist.”
Greg-“So this evening,you say.”
P.D.-“If the person was last seen last night,yes,that is what we suggest.But it’s your call.”
Greg-“Very well,I’ll wait a bit longer.”
P.D.-“Yes sir,give us a call if you find it’s needed.”
They broke the connection and Greg hit the end call button on his phone.Greg decided to check the mail.Maybe Amanda was chatting with some one at the mailboxes.But then,if she was,why wouldn’t she answer her phone? At the mailboxes,Greg inserted his key and pulled their mail from the box.Prissy walked up to get hers.
Greg-“Say,you park near my girlfriend’s car don’t you?”
Prissy-“I think so,I think she’s about four spaces away.Why?”
Greg-You haven’t seen her today,have you.I mean while you were going about your day,you haven’t seen Amanda have you? That’s her name,Amanda.”
Prissy-No,I haven’t.Is anything wrong?”
Greg-“Well,she left last night to spend the evenings with friends.She hasn’t come back but her car is parked in her spot.”Prissy’s eyes got big when Greg mentioned Amanda’s car being parked in its usual place.
Prissy-“Wow,that’s wierd.He car but no her?”
Greg-“Yeah,right. Her car but no her.So you haven’t seen her around,maybe getting into someone else’s car?”
Prissy-“No,I haven’t.Gee,that’s kind of scary.I now how bad it is to worry about someone and not know anything.But if I do see her,do you want me to call you,nock on your door?”
Greg-(trying to digest the events)”No,I don’t expect that would do all that much.If you saw her,she would probably ge within a minute or two of coming home anyway.But hey,if you DO see her and she’s with someone,see if you can ask her to call me.”
