of earshot before turning his attention to Rodney.
    “What the hell happened, Rodney?”
    “I have no freaking idea,” Rodney answered and the pressure he was under suddenly showed on his face. “I didn’t know she was missing until he showed up and asked to see her.”
    He said these words as he walked over to the supposed tray that Rita had been placed in. He pointed at it and it was empty.
    “There was no sign of forced entry. I started my day as usual after locking up from last night and walked in as I usually do.”
    “There was nothing odd about the place?”
    “No, everything was in the right place,” Rodney said before heaving slightly. “I told you I only noticed she was missing when he requested to see her body.”
    Lohan could understand Rodney’s frustration but knew at some point he would have to be a suspect in the investigation. He looked around the morgue and the silence was very disturbing. He wondered how Rodney could sit there by himself, reading the newspaper and having his morning coffee.
    “What’s on your mind, chief?” Rodney cut in nervously.
    “What isn’t?” he asked back before taking his cell phone from his pocket and asking a few people from the station to come to the morgue.
    “What is going to happen now?” Rodney went on to ask, feeling agitated.
    “Relax, Rodney,” he cautioned. “We are going to file an official report first before anything and then start an investigation.”
    “How long will that take,” he asked. “You know how distracting it is to have people down here.”
    “I will ask them to be silent as they work,” Lohan said and he started walking out of the morgue. The chilly atmosphere was biting hard into his skin and he could feel his teeth begin to jitter.
    He spotted both Ryan and Sam from a distance and walked slowly towards them. Ryan was still pretty upset and all Sam could do was comfort him. Lohan dreaded the walk towards them but he knew that he had to approach them nevertheless.
    “I am sorry you have to go through this Mr. Sutter ,” he said “How are the kids holding up?”
    “They are at my mum’s now,” he said.
    “Can I give you a ride?” Lohan offered and slowly began walking where Sam had initially parked the car.
    “Sure,” Ryan said before staring at nothing in particular and following him behind. His head was bent low and he felt defeated and resigned.
    Lohan gave him an encouraging look as he got into the backseat of their car and watched as Sam took the driver’s seat.
    “Should we drop you where we found you in the morning?” Lohan asked.
    “Yes please, if it won’t be too much trouble,” Ryan answered.
    Sam did not need to be given the directions as he started his car and drove on to where he needed to drop Ryan.
    They both watched as he got out of the car and walked into the house. He still looked and felt sad and they both felt a lot of compassion for him.
    “This is going to be one hell of a case,” Lohan said as he watched Ryan walk into the house.

Chapter Two
     
    The subway did not have as many people as she expected and Tracy became more comfortable. She looked again at her surroundings and noticed a few of the people there were heading to the hospital. Her mind raced back to the days when she was still a young girl and she could hear her mother’s voice echoing in her head.
    “You will never amount to anything, you were born of a harlot and you will be a harlot. After all, the apple never falls far from the tree, you know”
    Her mother had told her this when she got an A in her biology exam and her teacher had told her she could be a doctor if she wanted to. She let her head rest on the window on her left as she wondered where her mother was now.
    The train halted at the next stop and she watched as all the medical personnel got out at the same time.
    “Their mothers must have believed in them,” she said in a still voice that was almost a whisper.
    She was left on the subway with two other people:
