About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!
The Case of Aloft National Bank Robbery
This choice: Jessica and Ben search the scene further.  •  Go Back...
Chapter #3

Jessica and Ben search the scene further.

    by: Jeff
"We have to search your box," Ben said. "If it's the only one that hadn't been busted into, there must be a reason for it. Do you have your key with you?"

Jessica nodded, producing it from her pocket. She was uncertain whether she should open it, especially in front of all the law enforcement officers hanging around the crime scene. She didn't have anything of extreme secrecy in her safe deposit box, but that didn't mean that she wanted the police snooping around inside it either.

Ultimately, curiosity won out over worry and she slid the key into her box and twisted it. The box popped open and she and Ben peered inside. To her shock, it was empty save for a single piece of paper resting on the bottom. It read:

Jess,

I'm so sorry it had to come to this. If you're reading this, I'm already gone... either to prison or out of the country, depending on how this heist went off. Either way, I don't expect to ever see you again, so I just wanted to know that it wasn't all bad between us. I really did start to care about you somewhere along the way.

Love,

Lucien


So now her ex is gone, with the contents of her safe deposit box... and everyone else's. But is Lucien really so clever, or does Jessica know him better than he thinks?

What happens now?

You have the following choices:

*Noteb*
1. Jessica has no idea where Lucien would have gone.

*Noteb*
2. Jessica knows exactly where Lucien would have gone.

*Noteb* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
