BILL’S phone rang. It was Jeff asking if they could meet for a drink.
“Struggling a bit at the moment mate, going to be stuck in the office for a while,” he said.
Bill explained that police had two missing person cases they were getting increasingly worried about.
“A man and a woman, both seemingly completely normal, both happily married, no money worries but they’ve both suddenly disappeared without a trace.”
“Do they know each other?” Jeff asked.
“No it’s a bit weird but it’s got all the ingredients for a good story which is why I’m so busy.”
“No problem mate, make it another time,” he said.

BILL’S office voicemail took the message:
“Bill, it’s Jeff. Sorry about this. First you cancel and now me. Evelyn’s just rung to invite me round so hope you don’t mind if I pull out. See you soon.”
----------------
JEFF’S mobile took the message:
“Jeff, thanks for the message mate. No problems. In fact I was going to ring you and cancel myself. You won’t believe it but we’ve got another two people missing. Again a man and a woman, no connection, just clean disappeared. Catch you later.”
----------------
JEFF’S mobile took the message:
“Where the hell are you Jeff? I’ve tried your home and the university. Ring me back as soon as you can. It’s urgent.”
----------------
JEFF’S mobile took the message:
“Look mate, I don’t know what time you were due to see this Evelyn woman but DON’T go! If you’re already there, make your excuses and leave as quickly as you can. The police have discovered all these missing people have one thing in common – they all got in touch with Evelyn after seeing that damn tennis photograph in the paper.
Apparently she told them she had more photographs and suggested they meet up so they could have a look. She never mentioned this to you did she? Jeff, all four of these people are missing after speaking to Evelyn. You gave their numbers to her. And the thing is, the police don’t have an address for her. Jeff, I don’t think you should go anywhere near this woman until all this is sorted out. There’s something not right here.”
