It's been two weeks since her disappearance and that's why you are here. To help discover her whereabouts." Emily paused, narrowed her eyes and looked keenly at him before continuing. "She really doesn't do anything without informing me; this isn't right. '' Emily stood from the chair with hands on her hips and continued. "I just hope she's not in any form of danger. By the way, I am Emily Clarkson". She added extending her hand.
"Frets Williams at your service" he replied, sizing her up before taking her hand. "Do you mind reminding me what you said you do?"
"I'm an architectural engineer as well as a construction engineer and I'm sure I never mentioned it".
"Now I see why__" Frets paused and smiled trying not to say anything displeasing. "Why don't we run through the details of the last days before her disappearance, what was she like?"
"She was just plain Sabrina, the Sabrina I've always known" She replied showing a bit of frustration.
"Okay, let's do this again. I mean, was there anything off in the way she behaved, what changed?"
"Sabrina is a lovely girl, I mean, she has a different temperament from me but I think the world of her and I can't think of anything that will make her suddenly disappear without telling me. I think she's in some sort of danger." The words tumbled out of her lips.
Frets looked carefully at Emily, She was a very attractive woman with her brown colouring, her intensely brown hair and her very alive blue eyes. She was dressed in a loosely buttoned flannel shirt on denim jeans and a brown ankle boot. His first impression of her was a woman who liked being in charge and the way she interacted with him initially had confirmed this. But right now, he wasn't sure anymore, he felt like he was speaking to a naive woman who was scared of the unknown or probably scared of what she couldn't control.
"Ms Clarkson, I can assure you that I'll do my best to bring to light the whereabouts of your friend" Frets assured. "But right now, I'll need you to be cooperative enough to give the right answers when I ask a question if not, there's no way I can help."
Emily wore a dreadful scowl on her face and looked at the man that had just spoken with burning eyes; he obviously couldn't comprehend how she felt right now. Sabrina Langdon has been her best friend since she was five and when Sabrina lost her parents to a gas explosion at seven, she had moved in with Emily's family until after college. In fact, they were sisters and Emily felt responsible for her.
Recently, Sabrina had discovered her failing heart disease; Emily had insisted that she underwent surgery and move in with her but she refused. As far as she was concerned, she deserved the chance to shop, party, fall in love, go on vacation and eat whatever she wanted.
A week ago, Emily had taken the One-hour drive from the countryside of Denver to visit her sister in the city of Colorado Springs; instead of the warm welcome she had expected, she was greeted by the unlocked doors and windows to a surprisingly silent house. It was not unusual for the doors and windows to be kept unlocked; trust Sabrina to always be careless. But one week had elapsed and there was still no sign of Sabrina, all the calls Emily had put across to her went straight to voicemail and Emily was sick with worry.
