Abby, Two

Chapter 32
Legion decided that Abby ... and the Utes ... were more important than the business. There IS the tiny possibility that it was the Utes and not Abby that held his interest.
The Firm sent a car and driver, the train was on time. The chauffeur attested to that at the police station ... she also attested to the fact that she was new to the job ... and had no idea who Legion was or what he looked like.
He did NOT respond to her sign ... or the plethora of pages over the terminal speakers. The pages began 30 minutes after the arrival and ended after an hour of no contact ... and then the clerk shut the ticket window in her face.
Uncertain as to her next move, she asked the guard and he sent her to the cops. They were immediately suspicious, questioned her to a fare-thee-well ... found her sign in the trash ... arrested the window clerk for non-compliance ... he wouldn’t answer to the banging on his window.
They found a generally unreliable and unemployed witness who admited to seeing the driver holding the sign ... he was more interested in the holder of the sign than the sign itself as her upraised arms stretched the already tight chauffeurs’ jacket to near bursting.
The Firm (Hall, Willows and Day) were concerned. Their most important client and his bags and bags of money had vanished from this Earth.
Mr Willow was especially concerned.
The driver, Megan, was his 18 year old daughter on her first commercial endeavor ... college money. The Firm motto: Working builds character.. There were posters and placards throughout the office.
Meg was a State Licensed Babysitter and saved every penny. The Chauffeur Job held the promise of good tips and an excellent resume.
