Ronny sat on the couch with the TV on. He had his arm wrapped around the pretty young woman who was snuggling against his chest.
It was the anniversary of the day they met, and the anniversary of the last day he saw his sister Nancy.
Given all the trouble she had gotten into over the years, he wished he had microchipped her. Then he could have found her. It certainly would have saved him a lot of trouble.
In the end, his last lead to her didn't pan out, but it wasn't a total waste. It was the day he met Melissa and saved her life.
After dealing with the cannibal cook, he had to talk with the police for hours. By then, Nancy's trail had gone cold.
The airport swept the whole thing with the lost box under the rug. It seemed this was a huge embarrassment to them.
The police where unable to turn up anything. The delivery truck didn't have her, too many planes took off from that airport that day, and with the connecting flights, there was no telling where she ended up. None of the airports they contacted came up with anything.
He visited Melissa in the hospital and she was happy to see him. They talked for hours and comforted each other. After she was discharged, they went out together and hit it off.
Lately she had been sleeping over more and more. She knew he needed something to take his mind off today, and frankly, so did she. Now she was ready for some Netflix and chill.
