Investigation

The whole family was going through a really bad time.

He’d been missing for quite awhile now. In the sitting room a detective was discussing his disappearance with her parents. She the fourteen-year-old daughter, just one year younger than her missing brother, sat across the hall in the kitchen. She could hear a lot of what was being said. Although quite mature for her age, she found the whole thing both creepy and frightening. Upstairs, she could hear other officers searching her brother’s room; maybe for clues. She wanted it all to stop. She wished they would all go away. It was hours before they finally left. A long time had been spent questioning her mum and dad, even longer, working their way through just about every room in the house. They even went around the garden with this fancy piece of electronic equipment. It was supposed to detect areas where the ground had been disturbed.

The police were obviously taking her brother’s disappearance seriously. With all these officers assigned to the case, she thought, and carrying out such a thorough search of their house and property, what did they hope to find?

Was it the tablets she had saved up and used to drug him first, the bottle now well and truly gone to landfill? Was it his mobile phone, pieces of which have since gone down the drain two blocks away? Was it the knife bought at a jumble sale, now thoroughly cleaned, taped to a large piece of rock and dropped from a bridge over a river, in a distant town?

Could it be that they are actually hoping to find her brother?

Good luck with that, she thought.
