She sniffled. I got a call from that detective today."And?"The trail is stone cold. They couldn't find anyone named Seth Brown whose details come clos... to what I know. They think it was an alias he gave me. Oh, God -- I feel so foolish."From now on, let's refer to him as S.O.W."What's that mean?"Seth, or whomever."Okay ... One thing I did learn. It wasn't his old number the cell company assigned to your Blackberry. They don't recycle the numbers that quickly."That means, either you garbled the. “Stick him in a round room and tell him to find the corner!” he replied with a chuckle, laughing at his own humor.“Well, that was pretty good coming from a Buckeye that has his first and last name backwards.” Jesse retorted.That got Jesse an invitation for dinner where he met Chase’s wife Clara. The lap of luxury came with a price as he enjoyed the central air with a five course meal. That payment was made to Clara as she grilled him on his love life.Yes, he’d loved and lost and no, he didn’t. Everyone has left for work or school and I pull myself from bed and head for the shower. My naked body passes in front of the mirror above the dresser and realize I can't remember the last time I slept naked. I hop in the shower and enjoy the hot steamy water running over me.
