Disappearing Act, Part XIV

Later.

I don’t know.

Mary never came back.

I called the office. Sam answered. I asked if Mary was there. He told me that I must have made a mistake, that there was no Mary working there. I gave him my name. I asked him if I worked there.

- Enough of the games, he said. I'm counting on you Monday night.

I called my cousin, my sister, my uncle. No response. Not even a ring. None of the numbers worked.

So, none of them were there.
