CHAPTER 14
The Reveal
Once Maryshia returned home she could hardly wait to call her sister.
âHello, Daria,â she said breathlessly. âI need to talk to Lester as soon as possible. I have a unique assignment for him, and one where he will be amply paid.â
âWhat kind of assignment? Does it have to do with the case you were working on that you couldnât or wouldnât talk about?â Daria asked.
âYes. It is a case that Iâm sure Lester would relish, as itâs a blockbuster of a story. It should be a real headliner, once itâs finished that is,â I replied.
âUnfortunately, Lester isnât here at the moment. Heâs on an assignment, and had called a short while before you did, letting me know he would be out quite late.â
âOh bummer,â Marysia replied. âWouldnât you know it? I wonât be able to sleep until I speak to him. Looks like Iâll have to be patient, which we both know, is not one of my attributes,â she chuckled.
After a long sleepless night, excited about the prospect of solving this story and making a bigger name for herself, Maryshia got up at daybreak, made herself some coffee, and counted down until it was a reasonable time to call her brother-in-law. Fortunately, he beat her to it.
âHi Maryshia. Daria says you have an exciting assignment to share with me. I must warn you I am up to my elbows in cases and am already putting in quite a few hours on the job. I hate to say no before hearing your offer, but I will have to.â
âLester, please hear me out. I was given an unlimited budget to get this matter resolved. The benefactor of this project has already transferred an obscene amount of money into my account, and stipulated money is no object. Does this pique your interest?â
âJust exactly what are you involved with? Is it illegal? Do you know anything about your benefactor? Can he be trusted?â Lesterâs voice increased in pitch, and he asked in rapid fire.
âIâve been working with this man for a couple of months. I trust him. He has never given me any reason to think he canât be trusted. The information he provided me is very interesting and pertains to missing persons cases. Well, at least the majority of it pertains to missing persons cases. Have you heard about that unidentifiable body that was recovered in Ohio?â
âStop right thereâ Lester interjected. âThat is out of my jurisdiction, I canât have anything to do with that.â
âActually, arenât unsolved cold case files open to anyone who feels that they may have some leads? The National Missing Persons system is available to anyone who can help solve cases. Moreover, I was told that you could hire anyone of your choosing to assist you in this matter, and that personâs salary would be covered as well. As far as I can tell, itâs a great way for you to make some extra income and challenge your investigative skills. Donât you love a good challenge? Besides, you can earn enough to buy that dream home that you and Daria have been discussing lately.
