The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Melody had never used the card Lucas gave her, and her first purchase was for a sum of a million dollars. 'What on earth did she buy?' he wondered.

A million was a mere blip in Lucas' coffers, but that same amount was an utterly out-of-character purchase for Melody. He knew her well enough to know she would never touch his money unless it was an emergency.

He frowned and contacted the film crew to ask if Melody was at the set.

The crew member answered, "The shooting ended early, so she left. I think she mentioned wanted to visit a bookstore."

Lucas hung up and wondered why Melody would switch off her phone on a trip to the bookstore.

He called home and was told that Melody was not there. The situation was getting more and more difficult.

He got up, flung open his office door, and barked out an order to Edmund, "Locate Melody's phone! I need to know where she is!"
