“What’s the world coming to?” Ian mused out loud, shaking her head as her eyes scanned over the front page of the local newspaper. To say that Ian’s used to this sort of news --- a missing person’s case ending in tragedy -- wouldn’t be far off. While it’s been years since she’s lived in the States, cases like the one that had broken after the bonfire weren’t as few and far between back home. They weren’t common, everyday occurrences, but they weren’t as startling, either. Still, the fact that the close knit community of Kingsholm had been rocked with such a tragedy was unsettling, to say the least. “I can’t even think of the last time that something like this has happened here.”
