Chapter Six

Lia decided to buy some more food and have her kitchen fully stocked, for when Jay visited. She went to the same row of shops, that he had taken her to before. After looking around a supermarket she bought a selection of things, that looked very strange to a vampire girl from the nineteen hundreds. Nevertheless Lia had fallen easily into her new role, as a teenage girl of the 21st century, and she was enjoying her double life.

“That’s seventy five dollars please honey” said the cashier after she had scanned Lia shopping, and placed them into the store’s own plastic carrier bags. Lia was glad that there had been no queue, there was only a few people in the supermarket that day and Lia had been able to look around at her leisure. She gave the plump and pleasant looking cashier eight ten dollar bills, and waited for her change. Lia’s eyes suddenly fell onto a poster, displayed on the cream coloured wall opposite. She looked around and saw that there was quite a few of them in the supermarket. Lia had been so engrossed in her shopping that she had not noticed that they were there. The friendly cashier followed Lia’s gaze and shook her head saying:

“That poor girl’s family, I just can’t imagine what her Mom must be going through.”

Lia looked closer. She saw that it was a ‘missing person’ poster. She recognised her straight away. It was a picture of that girl Amberlee Robinson, who had been Jay’s date for that college dance.

“Hasn’t she turned up yet?” Lia was very surprised. She had thought that the girl would have just gone off somewhere, to sulk and stroke her wounded ego for a short while. She hadn’t given much thought to the matter, but it appeared that Amberlee had decided to milk it as much as she could.

“Nope, the police don’t have any leads either, but my friend Marylou, her husband works for the police department, told me that he says that they may have a suspect!”

Lia’s ears pricked. She wondered what the cashier was going to say next.

“Really?” she replied innocently, “how come?”

“Well” the cashier leaned towards her voice lowered as if in a conspiracy. “It turns out that this Amberlee girl was on a date with some boy when she went missing.”

“But how does that make him guilty of anything?” asked Lia. She was careful not to seem too curious, or have any knowledge of the people in question.

“When they left the dance he must have taken her home surely?”

“Oh no” said the cashier emphatically, “She left on her own, the police say that they had a fight, or something happened and she stormed out and he stayed at the dance.”

“So why would he be a suspect if he didn’t leave with her?”

“Well Marylou says that the police think he may have an accomplice” answered the cashier dramatically. “You see not too long ago the same sort of thing happened. He was with a girl at a party and she also disappeared.
