Chapter 12
"Morning, Jim," Simon said. "Sit down. Now, yesterday did you witness the murder of Patricia Adams?"
"Yes," Jim answered.
"Who did it?"
"Your informant."
"Antoinette?"
"Yes."
"Are you positive?" Simon asked as if he didn't believe Jim.
"Yes, how many times do I have to tell you!" Jim said angrily.
"Come on. We have to go to her house and talk to her." They headed toward Antoinette's house. When the three arrived there, her house was completely quiet. They walked up the sidewalk and rang the doorbell, but no one answered. They rang the doorbell several times. Jim became antsy and began looking through windows. All he saw was white sheets everywhere. The appliances had been moved and unplugged. Jim walked around the house still seeing nothing but sheets until he saw a garage. He didn't need to look for long when he realized that the garage was in the same condition as the house. Jim came back around to the front porch.
"She's gone. Everything is covered in sheets as if she had planned on leaving," Jim said.
"Didn't she say that after she killed the vampire she would leave?" Blair asked.
"Yeah she did," Simon said.
"What are you going to do?" Blair asked.
"We're going to close this case. Just like it is, unsolved," Simon said. "We can't solve this, and we'll never find her."
"That's it!" Jim said, disgusted. "Just like that you're going to close the investigation!"
"Frankly Jim, she could be in the Amazon Rain Forest for all we know. Come on, let's go!"
Simon closed the case unsolved. They had no troubles. Patricia had no loved ones, and the murderer had disappeared.
