way, do you know where he lives?”
                  “I believe it is in the penthouse downtown,” answered Roger.
                  “We will start there, but for now, let’s just keep this between us. If anyone asks, he is on an extended trip overseas.”
                  Roger nodded and left the office. Brentford walked over to the glass window and looked out, his hands resting in each other behind him. This whole event had been a mystery to him from the start, and Derek had been more than his business partner-he had always been his friend. He had been to the house a few times just to check, but it was completely sealed off pending investigations. He had not known how to react to Derek’s disappearance, but when the text message came in, he had assumed he may have been keeping a low profile somewhere. Now that detectives were asking questions, maybe it was time he started asking his own. Something was not right about any of this, especially since Derek’s home was not one that was easily broken into. He turned to walk away and paused; he was sure he could make out the low howl of some sort of animal far away. Funny, he thought. No one told him hunting season had opened.

CHAPTER THREE
                  Wes had only just set his brief case down when he heard a knock on the door. He heaved an exasperated sigh and turned back around to answer it. He did not recognize the faces of the two men who were standing there.
                  “Are you Wes Chamberlain?” asked the one who seemed older than the other.
                  “That depends on who is asking,” Wes replied defensively, folding his arms and leaning against the door.
                  “My apologies. I am Gregory Brentford, and this is my colleague Roger Croswell, and we are partners at Gables Investment. We have come to see you about a personal matter.”
                  “What personal matter could I possibly have with Gables Investment? I don’t recall having a portfolio there.” He stood looking at them and remaining astute.
                  “If you don’t mind, could we come in?”
                  “As a matter of fact I do mind. I am not so comfortable...”
                  Just then the elevator bell dinged and they all three looked in the direction, almost involuntarily. Lucy stepped out and was a bit puzzled as three pairs of eyes greeted her. She walked gingerly towards them. “What is going on here?” she asked.
                  “These lovely men would like to come in for a ‘personal’ discussion, but I don’t know what sort of business I could possibly have with Gables Investment.”
                  “Ma’am, if it alright with you, this discussion concerns Chrissie.”
                  Wes’ eyes popped instantly. “Come in then,” led Lucy.
                  Wes was not altogether sure that was a sound idea but if she insisted. He could smell trouble on these men, and call it wolf instinct or otherwise, sometimes it is good to follow your instincts-if not always.
                  “Please, have a seat,” Lucy offered as she attempted to rid herself of her heels and shoulder bag. Wes stood by the counter, aloof for the entire time.
                  “Like I was saying to Mr. Chamberlain here, we are from Gables Investment and partners to Derek. It has come to our attention that he has gone missing and that you have his daughter staying here. We were hoping you could shed some light on what has happened to him.”
                  At the sound of Derek’s name Wes perked up.
                  “If you don’t mind, could you tell us what relationship you bear to Derek? I don’t believe that we have met,” continued Brentford.
                  “Distant cousins,” answered Wes. “Now if that is
