Harry drove back to his home.He was feeling relaxed and his clientele had also improved.He was thinking of William whose birthday was close at hand.He would throw a party. He became elated and decided he was not going to invite Roxette.
He parked his car but couldn't find Annette who usually came to the door on hearing the unmistakable horn.Instead he was greeted by Gail .
" Oh good evening Mr Thompson,I thought Annette had returned."
" Where is Annette my dear?"asked Harry.
" She left in the afternoon and hasn't returned ever since,' she said Grimly.
' Where did she go?" He asked.
" She didn't tell me," she answered.
" Look do me a favour stay with William ,I'll go to the supermarket and check,' he said getting into the car.
He reversed the car and once again drove towards the city area.All the while he thought of Annette a good and kind wife .
He reached the supermarket.
" Lyall did you see Annette?" asked Harry.
" Yes she came this afternoon said she needed more groceries and would return later " said Lyall.
" What time was it?" He asked.
" May have been after Two," said Lyall genuinely interested.
On impulse Harry drove to the station.
There he found her car parked.But
there wasn't any sign of her.He felt something in the pit of his stomach
All at once he saw the man with the tow truck drive past.
He got suspicious and followed him
The man got into the nearest phone booth and spoke on the phone.
