Burlington, October 24

8:35 p.m.

Heidi, Heidi, Heidi.

If you’re going to snoop, don’t make it so obvious. Put my things back in order.

What would I hide in the pages of my books? An address? A phone number? A name of a mistress? A picture of her?

I’m not sure what enrages me more—Heidi’s mistrust or that she left my office a mess. I ask myself if she did it intentionally to piss me off. Most likely. She knows how orderly my things have to be.

I spend a few minutes rearranging my books alphabetically by author and aligning the spines evenly with the shelf. Then I straighten up the mouse and keyboard on my desk. Obviously, Heidi tried to access my computer as well.

The thought of her trying to figure out my password amuses me. I wonder how many names she punched in before she got mad and gave up.

I use the name of my first, a pretty blonde I met ten years ago in the quartzite hills of Killarney Park.

I can still see her standing on the top of Silver Peak, gazing out at the breathtaking view, her hair blowing in the breeze.

She was the catalyst to this enjoyable adventure. Twenty-four now, including the mountain biker on Saturday.

I remember them all equally. Each location. Each face. Each confused, terrified look. Each little noise they made.

I’m missing just one name.

Taking a seat, I fire up my computer and search the web for any information on the mountain biker. Kimberley Daily Bulletin has a piece on him.

Kimberley RCMP are asking for the public’s help in locating a missing man from Marysville.

Twenty-seven-year-old Guillaume Mills is described as 5’ 10”, 165 pounds, with short brown hair and brown eyes. He has a tattoo on his left calf that reads, “Live To Ride, Ride to Live”.

At approximately 10:00 a.m. Saturday, Guillaume left his home on 307 Avenue. He was last seen wearing a blue jacket, black cycling tights, and white cycling shoes. Family members said he was riding his bike for Kimberley Nature Park.

RCMP are concerned for his safety.
