A small child watched the news bulletin in his home, and as he saw the image of the unknown girl on the screen, he paused the TV and ran into the kitchen, where his mother was making some hot chocolates.

"Mother!" The boy exclaimed. "Mother! Come at look at the TV! It's the news! Mother please!" He was dragging his mother into the lounge to see the girl on the news. "Look." He said, pointing to the TV.

"Yes, hun. They found a girl. No-one knows who she is." His mother told him.

"I do."

"What?"

"I know her." The boy's mother was very confused. "It's Miss. Flen. She helped me once. At school. I was sad." His mother sat on the couch, listening to her son. "She made me happy again, and then..." He paused for thought. "Then she left." He said, quietly.

"Well if you know her..." His mother said. "You have to tell the police."

"I know." Said the boy. "They said on the TV."

They boy's mother reached towards the coffee table and picked up the TV remote, pressing the play button, as she did.
