Epilogue

-

Ardelia got home around 11:30p. She had waited for Clarice for about an hour before deciding to go ahead and get a pizza. She couldn't reach her friend on the cell phone, but who of us can, half the time. She wasn't too worried just yet, knowing how easily Clarice could get sidetracked. She figured she would try her again when she got home.

Ardelia walked through the door and went straight to the phone. She noticed she had a message on her answering machine. She hit play and was relieved to hear her friends' voice.

"Hey Delia, sorry about dinner. I got trapped under something pretty heavy and couldn't seem to find a way to get out from underneath it."

Ardelia could have sworn she heard Clarice and someone else laugh at that statement. She continued listening to the message.

"I'm going to be out of town for quite awhile. I will call you when I get a chance.

Love ya. Bye."

There was the laughter again. "You dawg." She said. "You went out and got you some, didn't you?" Ardelia started to laugh. "Well it's about time! You go girl!"

Two weeks later, Agent Pearsall was so busy he barely had time to fill out the paperwork on his missing Agent. He had two new serial killers running a muck when he received the package in the mail. There was no return address and it was postmarked from Las Vegas, Nevada. He sat down and opened the small box. All it contained was a badge and a small note. The note read:

It's been fun

CS

'Great' he thought. 'Now what am I going to do.' Just then he got an idea.

"Maggie" he yelled for his secretary.

"Yes Mr. Pearsall." She said coming into view through the doorway.

"Get the Los Angeles Office on the phone for me, would you?" He said.

"Right away Sir."

A few minutes later he heard Maggie say, "L.A. line two Sir."

Pearsall picked up the phone hitting line two and said, "Hello. This is Special Agent Pearsall calling from Washington. I would like to speak with Special Agent Robert Black, please."

The only response he received from the other end of the line was,

"Who"
