Chapter 20 Old Lady Steele Searches For Alora

• “Is it true, Jerry?” Old lady Steele asked, her voice barely above a whisper. “Is Alora really missing?”
• Jeremy hesitated, fidgeting with his collar. He had known about it since the night before but was hoping to avoid involving the old lady. “It’s hard to say, old lady. She... left the house last night. It could be anything.”
• “Missing,” Old Lady Steele said sternly, unamused by his indifference.
