The Missing Heir (2012)
“Two days had passed since they had talked to the police about the handwriting in the note that was supposedly from Alice, but unfortunately, once again the same officer was at the desk. His tone was polite, but Xena detected a smirk in his voice. They explained again, and the officer opened Xander’s phone, looked at it in bewilderment, and handed it back to Xander. “Show me what you saw.”
Xander found the message and passed the phone back to the man.
“This makes no sense,” the officer said, and... this time it wasn’t a smirk but irritation that both of them heard clearly. “And here, what’s this?” His large fingertip covered the screen.
“I can’t see where you’re pointing.” Xander tried to sound polite.
“It looks like the sender was someone named Xena.” He looked hard at both of them. “Didn’t you say that was your name, young lady?”
“Yes, but—”
“Unusual name, wouldn’t you say? Not likely there are two Xenas sending messages to this lad’s phone.”MoreLess
