Mystery: Missing Rita: (Mystery, Suspense, Thriller, Suspense Thriller Mystery) (20 page)

Sam ran up the stairs and swung all the doors open but there was no-one in the house. He walked back down the stairs with a look of resignation and shaking his head.

“Nothing upstairs either,” Sam answered.

They looked around the room and noticed nothing had been misplaced. Sam tried to a place a call to Ryan again but this time it went to voicemail.

“What just happened?” Lohan asked. “Did we just get conned by the whole family?”

His phone started ringing for the millionth time that day and he chose to ignore it. He let his body slump down on the floor before looking in Sam’s direction and letting out a heave.

Sam ran a hand through his hair before a text message made his phone vibrate. He took it out of his pocket.

“I told you I would get you, Ted.”

A new sense of fear numbed him and he took in his surroundings before realizing what had happened. He looked in Lohan’s direction and took a deep breath. He was royally screwed, and not in the good way.

Sam then looked at his partner and a light bulb shone in his head as he came to a realization.

“What is it?” Lohan asked.

“The life insurance.”

“What about it?”

“That is the suspected reason of Rita faking her own death.”

“Yes. And?” Lohan went on to inquire.

“Upon death, who receives the insurance claim? Certainly not the deceased.”

“The next of kin receives it,” Lohan said as he slowly began to make sense of Sam’s words. “That son of a bitch was in on it, too.”

“He certainly was.”

They then looked at each other and shook their heads in despair. They had just been played and there was nothing they could do about it.
