My name is Iris Stapp. My father disappeared on my fourteenth birthday, and since then, I had been searching for answers or clues that could possibly reveal his disappearance. When my father disappeared, so did all of his stuff, which drove police to conclude that he ran away and just abandoned me like most dads did during that time. About a year later, his car was found in the Colorado river by an anonymous source who refused to give their identity. This eerie discovery spiked the investigation up once again and leading... no where, once again and dragging my emotions through the dirt, once again. Five years later, after living with my Aunt and Uncle for the remainder of my ruined childhood, I moved back to Tucson, AZ where I grew up, to attend the University of Arizona for a masters degree in Astronomy, Aerospace engineering, and Computer Engineering, following after my daddy's footsteps. Along with that, I finally gained access to my father's Will, once he was presumed dead, due to a cold case. Within the Will, my father left me our old home in Tucson, AZ, all of the money left in all of his accounts, and a key to his safety deposit box.

What I discovered, changed my life forever...

Life had taken a turn for the better ever since my troubled brother was incarcerated for life. However, one day, a sense of unease crept over me and my best friend as we noticed a mysterious figure tailing us through the bustling town. "Ally, who's that man?" my best friend inquired, her voice tinged with concern. I scanned the area nervously, my heart pounding. "We should get out of here," I urged, seizing her arm as we hastily made our way through the crowded streets. Abruptly, I awoke from a disquieting nightmare, my screams ricocheting through the silent house. "Mom, there's a man chasing me in my dreams," I gasped out, my hands trembling. She attempted to soothe me, attributing the tumultuous visions to my overactive imagination. On one occasion, I inadvertently overheard my mom and aunt engaged in a hushed conversation, puzzling over what impending revelation they were deliberating. Eventually, I mustered the courage to confront the enigmatic man who had been shadowing me. "Why have you been following me? Who are you?" I demanded, my voice quivering with trepidation. "I am Aleekie Smith," he disclosed, leaving me dumbfounded. "You're the man from my dream," I whispered, the pieces falling into place. The drama unfolded further as I crossed paths with a former boyfriend adamant on asserting control, his aggression escalating to a perilous climax when he brandished a firearm. Feeling ensnared, I made a pivotal decision to extricate myself from the tumult, severing ties with everyone in a dramatic departure. Amidst escalating tension and conflict, an unexpected source of solace materialized in the form of my father, ushering the narrative into an unforeseen trajectory. To uncover the compelling trajectory of events that ensued, I urge you to continue reading. This is merely the entrancing prologue of the gripping saga that awaits. Don't forget to vote and comment!
