THE END

Book 3: Dark Savior

He was lying. She could tell by the way he shifted his weight, avoided her gaze. “Please,” she tried again, “if you’ve seen her, I need to know. She’s been missing for almost a month now. The police won’t help me.” Her throat clogged with tears, making it difficult to talk.

The man sighed, cleared his throat, and then coughed so hard she was afraid he’d hack up a lung. Marissa took a tentative step back, but not too far. She didn’t want to lose this guy. He was the first real lead she’d found in her search for her best friend, Angie.

Angie had gone missing suddenly. She’d had a date with a man she met online, and she’d done everything right. She told Marissa about the date, given the details of where they’d be, who he was, his online profile. That way, if anything did happen, someone would be able to find her. Well, something had happened. Angie never came home.

As soon as Marissa realized that, she’d gone to the police, but of course they were no help. Angie was a grown woman, and she could do whatever she wanted. It was “normal” for women to take off with men. Marissa had laughed at the officer. Clearly they knew nothing about Angie because this wasn’t like her. She wasn’t impulsive. She was calm, rational, and happy. Happy women didn’t just take off like this.

When the man still didn’t answer, Marissa pulled out a second sheet of paper. “Do you know this man?” She held out the printed screen shot of the dating profile. Angie had given it to Marissa before the date. Good thing, too, because when Marissa went online to look the guy up, he’d disappeared, too. No trace of his profile. No record of any emails between him and Angie.

“I know the name, but that’s not him,” the guy said, nodding at the photo.

“What do you mean that’s not him?” Marissa’s heart raced. Maybe this was it, maybe she’d finally get some answers.

“I mean, that ain’t his picture. But his name is Jonah.” The man spit and wiped at his mouth with the back of his hand.

A fake profile picture. Of course. She should’ve known that. But why give a fake picture and use a real name? It didn’t make any sense. “Do you know where I can find him?”

The man nodded, rubbed his hand over his mustache. “Look, lady, I’m sorry ‘bout your friend, but if she got mixed up with Jonah, she’s as good as dead. You’d be smart to leave it alone before you end up just like her.”

He turned to walk away, but Marissa grabbed his arm, stopping him. She refused to believe Angie was dead. It wasn’t possible. “No, you look. He did something to my friend, and I’m not going to stop until I find her. If you don’t help me, I’ll tell the police you did it.” Marissa put her hands on her hips in defiance, hoping her bluff worked on him.
