Forbidden Love Part 4

FICTION

A Sunny Alexander-Johnson and Henry James Series By P.G. & Sharon Barnett

My name is Sunny Alexander-Johnson, and I’m Henry James, and we’re writers for Dark Sides of the Truth Magazine.

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

After driving back to Dark Sides, we parted company then rejoined just outside the downtown parking lot across the street from Austin police headquarters.

Resuming our inspection of twenty years of stale evidence, we discovered the photos of Gloria’s car abandoned on the side of a country road. The initial detective had been thorough, ensuring multiple pictures from every angle both outside and inside the vehicle, including the trunk.

“What are we looking for, Henry?”

“Hell if I know. So where’s the report about the car? Honda Civic, right?”

“Hang on, old man. There’s like fifty tons of manila folders in this box.”

“Uh, sometime before I die would be great.”

“James? Don’t make me punch you in the throat. Here it is, no wait. This one.”

“Okay, what did we just learn, princess?”

“That she got out of the car.”

“And we know this how?”

“No keys in the ignition, and more importantly, no purse. I seriously doubt she wasn’t traveling without a purse or a clutch or at least a wallet of some kind.”

“Where’s the DNA and fingerprint report?

“Uh, right here. It says what we already know. Prints and DNA matches from her mother, father, Gloria’s, and Jason Bowers, and a few unidentifiable.”

“What do you mean, unidentifiable?”

“Henry, I don’t make this crap up. I’m just reading what it says. Several DNA samples and prints were unidentifiable.”
