Chapter 9

Simon tried to concentrate upon his own work but he felt too distracted by the mystery of Fiona's disappearance. He had just spent a few wasted hours on the internet searching for anything that he could find about Andrew Cox and his possible current whereabouts. Although Fiona had been missing for days, the pain of her absence was so severe that, to Simon, it felt like she’d been gone for years. He missed seeing her smiling face and he especially missed her positive and uplifting presence around the home. The large house felt so empty and cold without her.

In his mind he dwelled upon the fact that her recent behavior was so unusual that she must have been strongly and negatively influenced by her association with that boy. He was beginning to dislike him so much that he found it hard to even think about or mention his name.

He had thought several times about calling the police and maybe filing a missing person’s report. He hesitated though, and ultimately decided against it, as he didn’t want Fiona being recorded in a police report or to end up with any kind of a police file of her own. He certainly didn’t want her blaming him for his interference in her life. As she so often mentioned to him, she was a young woman, not a child, and old enough now to make her own decisions.

What galled him the most, however, was the fact that she had misled him; no, he felt stronger than that; she had downright tricked him. He hadn’t felt one bit different since their transfer of gifts and he didn’t know what angered him the most; her deceit or the fact that she felt like she had to deceive him to get what she wanted.

He was proud of the fact that they had always had an unusually trusting relationship; one where she could talk to him about anything. He had never known her as a liar; in fact, her honesty and innocence were her primary attractive traits. Just a few short months spent in the company of some young upstart and it’s like her life-long, upstanding morals and principles had been flushed right down the toilet. It was sickening to him.

If her physical life was not in danger, then most certainly her spiritual integrity was. Not to intervene, and live up to his responsibilities as a caring and loving father, would be no less than a karmic transgression. He was her father and legal guardian, after all.

She might not want or invite his interference but she was acting so out of character, that her logic and sanity were clearly impaired. He now felt that he must intervene. If she didn’t thank him right away, she would most definitely thank him later. Considering the mess that she was potentially making of her life, he could see no option but to do everything that he could to save her.

He must find his daughter, wherever she might be, and bring her home to safety.
