Hi Mum, it's Sammy clone 36 (Part 9)

Tatianna and Theo are such a fascinating pair. One minute, she's insulting his family. The next he's asking her some off the wall question about fishing. I think insanity helps him a lot.

----------------

So Mum, the only clues I've had so far about the missing men is that Anna-Liza thought Wyatt might have run off with a younger girl. Also Meredith Kane thought she heard a woman's voice talking to Jeb before he left.


Not much to go on.

So after a good nights's sleep, I decided that I have two main classes of suspects in town. The women who are known to be 'available' for a price and the ones who moved into town more recently.

A few of them are in both classes. I have, with reluctance, decided to leave Tatianna out of the picture. If she were taking out guys, I don't think I'd still be writing you.

I started by chatting to Kat Hunter. She claims to be retired now, she's still well up on who's who in this town. She gave me a list of the working girls in town and I noticed that her name is still on the list.

"For a looker like you, of course I'm available. Any time sweety."

Later I found Kat and Jenni Jones-Goode chatting away outside of the town cemetery. Jenni is one of our town tarts. She's also married to Godwin Jones-Good. I never thought of a cemetery as much of a social venue, why chat here? Private?

Milly Pigeon is another person on the list, as a town bike. She does seem to have one young stud in tow these days, her husband Jayson, it's very unlikely that she'd have several more guys at her beck and call.

Sue Perfessor-Hill is another town bike. She's married, to a dude called Clover. They live out in one of the swampier areas of town, very quiet out there.

Another female on my list is Gala Ball, once married and is one of the town bikes. She lives alone in this rather rundown place.

I had a chat with Gala. It's difficult to come up with ways to ask if they've been the cause of the vanishing men using a subtle approach. I told you before, I'm brawn, not brains. Much as I'd like to there is no way I can go around trying to force the truth from the guilty party since there are so many innocent ones around.

Well, that was the list from Milly with names of the long term residents known to be available for a price. Now to go find the women who are relatively new to town.

What an odd household. I found that Marta Tomasi and Ripley Warren are living with Anna-Liza Riddle-Jacobson and her second husband.

Marta is a bright lady. I've heard she has sticky fingers and a job over in the Warehouse.

She and Ripley have a most striking resemblance, like family. They swear they aren't related.

Ripley Warren - our local ghost hunter. I've heard nothing bad about Ripley except that she has a temper and a sweet right hook to go with it.

Macy Lee is married with kids. That's not enough to stop her from being one of the town tarts. She does have a respectable job in Science and apparently her husband has no complaints about her activities.

Susie Pierce lives a quiet life in a normal residential street and is one of the town bikes. A neighbor thinks there is a child in the house from her marriage. It's common for guys to get tired of marriage to the town bike.

I finally tracked down Star Matlock, another of our town tarts. Her house is another one of those remote ones in the swamp.

Wait, that address. That's the address that the Science Facility gave me for Ollie.

Star Matlock came out for a chat. I asked about Ollie, she said he had left long before she moved in.

Do I believe that?

Carolina North another town tart and another female who lives in the swampy area of town. She's been divorced once, currently dating about half the men in town. She's also one of the members of the Warehouse Gang.

She's also not subtle. She's been seen asking a guy if he's married when his wife and kids are right there.

Christi Clayton, not a soul has anything bad to say about Christi. She's a city council member with a boyfriend. Just one of the newer town residents.
