Questions for Mr. Thompson

His eyes darted around the aisles, as if the shelves themselves might help him avoid my questions. “Well, I haven’t seen her lately, but her husband… Frank, yeah…” he trailed off, leaving far more unsaid than spoken. I could tell there was more he wasn’t revealing, like a hidden piece of a puzzle waiting to be uncovered.

It was time to pull out all the stops and get to the bottom of this.
