Chapter 10
Toshiko crept in so as not to wake Owen. He was doing a very good impression of being asleep when he wasn't. But he kept quiet and let her continue to believe he was.
I'd come home. That Jack bloke had promised to visit me tomorrow to have a look around my house for anything unusual. I'm not sure what he'd thought he'd find in my little house. But there had to be some reason for what was happening to me.
The following morning Jack set off to see Debbie. As he did someone was taking down her missing poster.
'Have you found her?' He asked.
'Yes,' the woman said enthusiastically. 'She came to our house last night, I can't tell you how relieved I am.'
Jack smiled 'I'm glad to hear it,' he headed back to the hub. She wouldn't be needing his help after all.
I waited for Jack for hours but he never came. I was getting slightly worried that he'd disappeared too. As it got late I headed to the bay through the still deserted streets.
