The Case of the Missing Woman
Copyright© 2013 by Mendon Fishers
Chapter 3: Oregon
Kate was very confused by what was happening. First she had been awaked by the warden and informed that her sentence was being commuted because of her terminal illness.
Oh there were some conditions, but in effect she was a free woman.
Then one of the guards helped her to dress and pack her meager belongings. A special nurse was brought in and introduced to her. The nurse explained she was to assist Kate on her voyage to the east coast.
Kate was confused, "What voyage and why East?"
"I'll miss my AA meetings."
The nurse was aware of her meetings and promised Kate that she still could attend them, only in a different location.
Kate was a little surprised that she was being put on a small private jet outfitted for medical transport. The jet was soon airborne and Kate was lulled to sleep by the constant noise of the engines.
The nurse checked Kate's vitals before relaxing in the comfortable plane. She had never flown on a private jet and was impressed.
About six hours later they were on the ground and being driven north to their final destination, a hunting lodge in Vermont. Kate sat in the back enjoying the view.
She remembered that Percy had always loved to take their few vacations together in the beautiful mountains of Vermont. The thoughts of Percy and those vacations brought back pictures of her children in her mind. It had been a long time since she had driven the two of them away. But yet she still missed them and regretted her actions.
