Chapter Fourteen: Questions Beget Questions and Not an Answer to be Found

An hour later Susan was sitting in the lavish hotel room of one Mr. Colton Pidcock who was unshaven but still devastatingly handsome. He nervously ran his hand through his hair several times. He paced the room. He poured a drink, sat it down and then would end up pacing over to the bar and pouring another. By the time he finally managed to speak there were several completely untouched drinks in various locations around the room.

“You heard about the newlywed that disappeared from this hotel last night then?” He asked rather suddenly, so suddenly that it startled Susan and she yelped a little.

“Y-y-yes. “ she stammered. “I caught part of the news while I was out driving. What does this have to do with me?”

“Ms. Cabot…may I call you Susan?” He waited for her to nod before going on. “I bumped into the lovely couple while a business associate and I were heading to the racquetball courts. I believe they played in the court next to ours. It seems that someone else may have bumped into the bride a little later in the night. I think you might know her? Sadie St. Clair. The police have questioned me several times because of the surveillance footage but all I can give them is her cell phone number. They are coming up with a dead end- because it’s a pen name. I am waiting for my office to call me with her real contact information but my systems are down right now. I was hoping that you could help. I really want to clear these things up quickly. You know how the press tends to spin things out of control and I get more than my share of the negative stuff as it is.”

Susan looked at him, his earnest face, the real worry creasing his forehead. He wasn’t just concerned about his business or personal interests here. He was truly worried and that was quite endearing.

“Kate Plain. Her name is Kate Plain. Until recently she was my best friend but she has stopped responding to me- I was actually heading to her apartment when I was driving around. I have to talk to her!”

Colton grabbed her hand. “Okay. Let’s go. I will call the detective and update him on the way.”

“Um, do you think that my friend Kate is involved in this bride’s disappearance somehow?” Susan asked, pretty sure that she knew the answer already.

“Do you?” He countered.

“I’m not sure.” Susan said quietly.

She drove while Colton called the police detective that was handling the case. She looked at his hands, something she always seemed to notice about men right away. His were rough, like he had done work other than the publishing gig in the not so distant past. He noticed her attention and smiled. “I put myself through college working on a farm just outside of Columbus. Dairy cows. I did it all- and it was kind of fun.
