girl’s dark hair, straight white teeth and giant smile made her wish she could
help the man. She stared at the photo and shook her head, then held the flyer
out to him.
“No, sorry. I haven’t seen her, or heard
about it. I didn’t get a chance to watch the—”

Very ominous. I like it. I wonder what kind of trouble this is going to cause the heroine of the story. What is the adage, no good dead goes unpunished?
