Sebastian Hale, MIA. The REAL truth behind the rock star’s disappearance.

I stood in the middle of the local IGA Supermarket, my shopping dangling in one hand, my heart in the other. My palm itched to pick up the latest edition of Stargazers to find out why he’d left his charmed celebrity life.

My reusable bag had the words ‘I like big books and I cannot lie’ printed on the outside with a cute hand-drawn image of a fluttering paperback novel. Inside was a block of Cadbury’s Top Deck chocolate, an energy drink, and a multi-pack of two-minute noodles. I was living the high life.

Staring at the magazine rack, I wondered how Sebastian put up with the constant speculation and rumour mongering from the press. Having his life talked about like it was a competitive sport must be hell.

It’d been almost a week since the night we’d rolled Robbo into the gutter together. Since then, Robbo’s drunken arse waking up in a puddle of storm water had been the talk of Point Mambie. He’d been found by local police guru, Sargent Conway, who’d photographed the scene and plastered it all over social media and printed it out and stuck it on the local noticeboard. Last I heard, the photo had been shared three hundred times. On top of that, one thousand, one hundred and thirty-two people liked it, and nine hundred and forty-six people had left comments... and Conway still had his job.

I hadn’t told anyone about what Robbo had tried to do. Maybe I should’ve but telling would also mean I’d have to let slip that Sebastian Hale was in the Point. I couldn’t lie on a police report. I wasn’t made for a life of crime. I was too hellbent on the whole honesty is the best policy manifesto, so if Sergeant Conway asked, I’d be obliged to tell him a rock star king hit my attacker and saved the day, then there’d be this whole thing.

Anyway, I didn’t even know if Sebastian was still here or if he’d already gone. We’d almost kissed twice now, and I wasn’t sure how many times a man like him could be pushed away until he went and found another woman to warm his bed. Maybe he’d gone back to ploughing Mallory Grigorio.

“I thought I told you not to look at those.”

My gaze shot up and I yelped.

“Vanessa!” I slapped my hand over my thumping heart. “What are you doing here?”

The automatic doors swished open and closed, and the scanner was beeping at the register behind us as the attendant swiped a load of groceries.

“Stalking you to make sure you don’t get sucked into the fake news void.” She grasped my shoulders and turned me around so I was facing the door.

“Wait. Who’s minding the shop? Did you lock the door?”

“Don’t worry about that.” She waved her hand at me, dismissing my concern.

“The last time you left Ziggy in the shop unattended he took a crap in the mystery section.”

“Well, it wasn’t a mystery who done it, that’s for sure,” she said, stifling a laugh.
