The Friends of Meager Fortune

No one knew where he was. He had been missing some while—four or five days now.“Is he home?” his cousin from Saint John asked.“No—he wouldn’t come home—I have been waiting to hear from him.”“But he said he was going home,” his cousin stated. “He said you wanted him to come home—he was... going home to see you and be Push.”“But he said he wouldn’t come—” Camellia said.The cousin, Billy Monk, was silent for a moment, then added in a sterner voice: “Something is not right here, Camellia—I mean, why would he tell me you needed him home if he wasn’t going there—?”Before she could answer or even think of a possibility he had hung up.A Detective Gaugin of the Saint John department then phoned Camellia, first to ask if Reggie was at home, and then to tell her her husband, if not at home, was missing—unless he was on his way home.There was no dispute on the dock, so then was there a domestic dispute?MoreLess
