It was strange keeping change from a customer.Β

There was an open door. Leading to a darkness. The only light a reading lamp. In there was a 5 x 7 picture of a kid staring blankly into the camera.
There was an open can ofΒ blue paint with the softest brush Elena had ever seen. Horse hair she imagined...

The weird feeling never left. There was nothing to do. They eventually had to leave. Couldn't stay forever.
At the store they finally got Jerry to call the police. Two men showed up. Were unhelpful.

The address was only six minutes away. They could've walked. But Jerry might've gotten upset had he seen them taking too much time. They arrived at a dark brick building perched on a hill. The front had an ornamental reservoir wall of stone.

"No. It's a unit in the building...

Jerry gently itched the stubble on his jaw.
Elena and Kevin awaited a reply. None came Jerry kept touching the stubble on his face. Elena held her breath. Then she couldn't hold herself.

"Maybe people won't notice that I'm missing. After all... how often does a customer need to come to be considered a regular?"
Marc said nothing.
"Come on. Take a guess."
"I don't know. Once a week?"
"I didn't come in for a full three weeks last year. I broke my leg and stayed in...

The screen turned blue. Candace thought, what the fuck? wasn't the phone supposed to be off... maybe Elena thought she had turned it off... or her pockets had turned it on by pressing a button.
Elena looked at Candace. Neither looked comfortable.
What should we do both thought without saying. The phone...

Elena was already there when Candace arrived at theΒ

The phone burned a hole in her jacket pocket. The morning coffee didn't hit as usual. Instead of feeling relaxed, she felt like a kid playing hot potato. Marc wouldn't come intoΒ

She answered the call, eager to say 'Marc is that you.'
A loud breathing came through. She could tell it was a man from the start.
She dared not say a word. Marc was slim. She could tell this breath didn't belong to him. It belonged to a heavyset man. An older...

marc's phone
as reply to Back
It still was a mystery to her.
The empty contacts list.
The only city on the weather app being Cupertino. What did it all mean?
Could mean that it was a brand new phone.
She had tried hard not to check when Marc had gotten the phone.
But ended up looking through his texts. There...
