CHAPTER IV

Stiles went to work with the information he got from the gallery owner and phone book. He didn't want to bother Lex to get the information for him since as far as everyone in the agency knows he is on vacation. He'll bother Lex later in case he needs a more in-depth 411 on his mystery lady.

He found the number for CGD and immediately called the office. He got an automated message informing him that the office was closed until Monday 9 a.m. and if he could like to leave a message for them to get back to him.

Since it was only Saturday, he had 2 more days to burn before he can continue with his mission. So he decided to torture himself some more by going down memory lane and visiting the house by the cliff overlooking the ocean. It was located about 20 minutes away from the resort he was staying. The last time he was there was with Terri during their 2nd date. They were exploring the island when they saw the house perched on top of the cliff. It had a modern touch with lots of glass where the sun shined through. They bet it gave the owners a breathtaking view of the ocean and of the whole island. From the house you can hear the waves roaring and splashing against the rocks, you can see the sun rising in the east and setting in the west and you can even see the other neighboring islands. It was their dream house. Out of curiosity again, Stiles went a little closer to get a better view of the house. There were no houses nearby. The nearest house was about 500 yards away. Glancing around he saw several children and their mothers playing nearby. He approached them and asked if they knew if the owner of the house would be open to showing him the house or if it was for sale.

"The house has a new owner already. She bought it 2 years ago. I doubt she would be willing to show it to you. She doesn't go out much or entertains a great deal."

"Would you know who the new owner is?"

"Not personally no but when the house was sold the real estate agent said that a Lyn Johnson bought it. But I know Lyn Johnson and the lady living there isn't her. She is, however, young and very beautiful. One can only wonder why she keeps to herself and doesn't' go out. Such a waste."

'Hmmm, this gets more and more interesting. It seems that Lyn Johnson is the missing link to all his questions' Stiles mused. Everywhere he goes, it seems her name always pops up. He has got to find Lyn Johnson.
