I was sitting in a café where I often go for a drink after work. I called the waiter who I know quite well. I asked for a cup of coffee. While I was waiting I looked at a newspaper which was lying on the table. I started reading an article on the front page. It said: 'Police are looking for a woman, Catherine. She has been missing from her home for two weeks.' I looked at the photo. It showed a woman with dark curly hair and had a round face. I recognized it at once. She was my new neighbor. She had moved in just 2 weeks before
