All the women my widowed father dated disappeared overnight – so I asked my friend to go out with him.

“I would never hurt her.”

“So help me understand.”

He rubbed his hands on his knees.

“I can’t.”

Under his watchful eye, I searched the house.

Everything seemed ordinary.

The food was spotless.

His laptop was sitting on the dining table.

His phone was lying next to him.

“Can I look at your phone?” I asked.

He hesitated for only a moment.

“Of course.”

There were no hidden applications.

No suspicious calls.

No unknown contacts.

I then noticed a notification from his home security system.

“Have you installed cameras?”

“After someone broke into the garage last year.”

” Where are they ? ”

“Entrance porch, driveway, and back door.”
