*~*~*
The day after Josef
broke into Mick's apartment, Ryder
delivered a file to him. Josef
poured through a handful of newspaper
articles. IRS forms. Credit
reports. Even a college
thesis. The most recent document was
a resume pulled from the New York City
District Attorney's employment
database. JenniAnn had had a brief
stint as a file clerk in late 2007.
Josef thought it wise to leave contacting
a District Attorney's office as his last
resort.
On that day Josef began making calls to
JenniAnn's past employers and
schools. But every time the
faux-employer he was posing as was told
some variation of "Nice girl. Sorry
to see her go. No idea where she is
now."
The futile questioning went on for
days. At the beginning of September
Josef admitted to himself that, just as
Andrew and JenniAnn had disappeared as
he'd followed them, now so had his hopes
of finding Andrew and saving or at least
avenging Sarah.
