Page 8 “I’m sorry, I just don’t think I can help,” you say “Well, thanks for your time. I guess there isn’t anything to be done.” After Sylvia leaves, you go for a walk to think things over. By the time you get home you’ve decided that you really should try to help Sylvia. It’s not right that she should be deprived of her rightful inheritance. The next morning you call her, but there is no answer. Every day you try again, but it’s a week before you’re able to reach her. “Oh it’s you!” she says “I should’ve of let you know I was visiting my mother. I got back yesterday and found out that Grimstone has left town. The place is locked up.” ‘Why do you think he cleared out?” “The police have been watching the place. He may have figured they had gotten enough evidence against him to close in on him.” “Maybe so,” you reply. “It also may mean that he found the diamonds.” A thought suddenly occurs to you. “Could you get a court order to have the place searched?” “I already tried” Sylvia replies. “The judge denied my request. He said that there wasn’t enough evidence to justify his issuing a search warrant.” “Well, maybe I can think of something.”- Go to the next page
