“Captain! Captain, what’s going on?” Frank yelled into his cell phone.

After having his return calls to her go directly to voicemail, Detective Stone shoved his cell phone back into his pocket. He hoped to high hell that his boss wasn’t in any danger. He thought about calling 911 but quickly realized that he had little to no information to give them.

It scared the daylights out of him to think that Marie could be in some sort of danger, but the only thing he could do at this point was wait for his cell phone to ring. It wasn’t in his pocket three seconds before it began to buzz. Thinking that it may be his captain, Frank hurriedly snatched it out.

“Hey, did you get in touch with Captain Snyder?” Amber asked.

“Yeah, but I wasn’t able to tell her about our theory.”

“Why not?”

“Well, it seems that when I called her, she was in the process of investigating an accident.”

“What? Where?”

“I have no idea. She hung up on me before I had a chance to ascertain any more information.”

“Oh wow. I hope everything is alright.”

“So do I.”

“Are you going to try to call her back?”

“I tried to, a couple of times before you called, but I wasn’t able to reach her.”

“Hmmm . . . I don’t like the sound of this Frank. She could be in real trouble.”

“I don’t think there’s any need to worry Amber. If she needed assistance, I’m sure she would have called it in. Besides, the way she sounded on the phone gave me the impression that it was just a routine accident.”

Frank said this more to reassure himself than Amber. His gut told him that everything was okay, but his numerous years of experience told him that anything was possible. He decided to trust his gut and wait a while before trying to contact her again.

“Okay partner. If you say so.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll call her later, on and find out what’s going on.”

“Okay, thanks.”

After disconnecting the call, Frank headed home. It was disappointing to him that he couldn’t tell his boss about Amber’s and his theory. He thought about the case and immediately became disgusted. He never could understand what the color of a person’s skin had to do with who they fell in love with. He thought about his boss and her husband, whom he’d met on several occasions, and remembered how happy they had seemed to be together. Frank wasn’t naïve, so he knew that Marie and her husband sometimes went through a rough patch in their marriage. He also knew that was normal, not only for them, but for virtually every married couple in America.

It took Frank less than ten minutes to get home. Once inside of his house, he dropped down on his couch and undid his tie. For some reason, he felt tired. He’d been experiencing that a lot lately. His stomach growled, alerting him that he hadn’t eaten since early afternoon. Although he didn’t feel like it, Frank got up and made his way to the kitchen.
