Mystery
Save One Bullet
Chapter 13 My first official date with Rick was interrupted by a call from Mom's nursing home. She had fallen and fractured her pelvis. An ambulance was bringing her to a nearby hospital. Rick wouldn't allow me to drive after three rum and cokes. Instead, he drove and decided to sit and wait with me to keep me company. He got his opportunity to be the knight in shining armor for me that evening and it was a refreshing change for me, who always had to deal with these things alone.

Black Heart
The atmosphere in Jamal's house was somber, fraught with concern over his daughter's abduction. Heral, a witness to the incident who had tried to intervene, recounted the distressing sequence of events. As Jamal's unease escalated, seizures began to afflict him, and his residence transformed into an impromptu police hub, frequented by undercover officers. The family held their breath, awaiting a ransom demand. However, as the fifth day approached without any word from the kidnappers, the situation took on a more ominous tone. It was clear that this was not your typical abduction. Preferring discretion, they refrained from broadcasting the issue. Only Jamal, Hydr's family, and their inner circle were privy to the abduction details. In the living room, the group's anxiety was palpable, heightened by Hydr's presence. Amid deliberations, Kareem, Zabel's brother, suggested involving Kaan, a seasoned businessman with expertise in import and export, and a significant presence in port operations. Despite initial reservations, the gravity of the situation swayed Jamal to embrace any potential solution. Kaan's participation ensued, and during discussions, a chilling realization set in – the abduction ran deeper than ransom. With law enforcement assistance, it was confirmed that Zabel hadn't left the country. Suspicion turned to a disturbing conclusion: the captor was intimately acquainted with Zabel. Heral shared a troubling insight – this abduction was premeditated, specifically targeting Zabel. Jamal spearheaded investigations into her connections, peers, and activities. The mystery deepened, leaving him grappling with uncertainty about the kidnapper's identity and motives. Heral retrieved Zabel's laptop, yet initial searches yielded no pertinent clues. Despite the setbacks, the family remained steadfast. Heral vowed to probe further among Zabel's contacts. Jamal, torn between anxiety and confusion, found solace in his daughter's resolute spirit. United by their determination, they pledged to unveil the truth behind Zabel's abduction, determined to bring her back home.

It was early enough in the day at the salon they had plenty of openings. After telling the stylist what I wanted she began mixing up a magic potion in a little ceramic cup and snapped on gloves like she was preparing to do a prostate exam. Wait. I don’t have one of those.

Chapter 4 Save One Bullet 'Torture him', the mirror had told me. I could follow the mirror’s good advice and shred Tom piece by piece for the next thirty or so years instead of divorcing him. Then, again, as I ruminated over the last twenty years, and the imbalance of our relationship, perhaps things were never as rosy as they had seemed. Had mom’s progressing dementia become such a focus in my life that I missed the signs of a failing marriage?
