TODAY WAS A SACRED DAY. The citizens of Caruthers City knew how fragile the topic of her disappearance was. They knew how much her absence had damaged their world. Everyone knew.
Everyone.
The city mourned in the silence of that waking morning, citizens crowding around the plaza where she'd last been spotted and was last seen alive.
