What happened to Grace Sinclair? (Friday Barnes)

~20~

Friday couldn't believe it. She stood up, grabbing a scrap of paper from the table and scribbling down everything Bonnie had told her.

'And, did he have a wife?'

'No. Never that I knew of. No photos or anything. And Lilith was most likely adopted. She's Chinese and he's not, though I suppose her mother could have been, but Lilith never talked about her mother.'

Friday frowned. No wife? Then, who was Grace? Where did she fit into this equation?
Grace was Chinese, so maybe she was Lilith's mother,

'And, are you still in contact with Lilith?'

'No, I lost contact with her 4 years ago, when we were 19.'

4 years ago? When they were 19? That would make Lilith and Bonnie 23. So Grace couldn't have been Lilith's mother because Grace was also 23.

'What happened?'

'I don't know. She just stopped showing up to school and wouldn't answer any calls. We never had a falling out. She just....vanished.'

Odd. But, maybe she wanted a change? Friday didn't know. And she didn't know who Lilith was, but she was intrigued, and her gut told her she needed to keep digging.

'Ok, could you describe Lilith. Her physical features.'

'Yeah um. Round cheeks, down slanted eyes, brown ones, short. She has dimples when she smiles.'

That description sounded awfully familiar, but Friday couldn't place it.

'Um ok. Bonnie, thank you for the information. I'll give you a call if there's anything else'

'Wait!'

Friday stopped before she hung up

'....has something happened to Lilith?'

Friday didn't say anything.

'I don't know. I've never met or heard of Lilith.'
