A SINGULAR DETAIL IN THE GARDEN
Röhrig C.
Pelotas/2015
John
and Brenda Koldowsky lived in a beautiful wooden house. Up the street. Almost
at the feet of the hill. It was a strong walking uphill difficult to access.
Three houses down lived a retired professor Ralph Bradwin.
At
the time I was the detective Raymond Chester Jr. And I had an office in the
center of the quiet town of Pulp Pulp.
Both
Koldowsky family and the professor were my long-standing acquaintances. Furthermore
that was one of the biggest cases of my career as a detective in that place, connecting
the two residences. And a lady who was passing through town. Her name was
Pamela Himes.
The
famous disappearance of Edgar.
For
a quiet town where nothing ever happened that was a great tragedy.
Mainly
because he was too young. Edgar had been adopted by Koldowsky family. They liked
to call him "Junior."
And
that's how it all started.
The
next day after the storm, the phone rang.
I
answered.
-
Hello - I said.
-
Detective Raymond Chester Jr.? - asked a
female voice.
-
Yes, speaking – I Said – Who is talking?
-
It’s Brenda Koldowsky.
-
How can I help you Mrs. Koldwsky?
- Junior
has disappeared!
- Has he really disappeared?
Have you already searched around the neighborhood?
- Yes, sure! You need
to come. It's urgent! Our Junior disappeared.
- Calm down lady, I'm
on my way.
- We're desperate!
You need to come soon.
She
hung the phone up.
It
appeared to be very serious. I hung the phone up; I grabbed my coat and my
detective hat. And moved toward the Koldwskys’ house.
Five
blocks walking through the mud and debris that the storm had spread. Fallen
trees in the street, tiles, pieces of windows, boards, a headless teddy bear.
It looked like the scene of a war zone. People over the roofs of houses.
Stretching tarps to protect themselves. It was very sad.
A lady
was coming down the street toward me; she looked worried and too hasty. She
passed me and bumped into my shoulder. Almost knocked me down, and continued
down toward the center. I stared at her as she continued walking. That lady was
an outsider; I had never seen her before. My detective instinct said that there
could be something related to the case.
