“Hello. Are you
Heather Reed?” he asked politely.
“Yes” she
answered.
“I came to speak
with you.” He opened a wallet and presented a badge. “I’m Special Agent Peter
Roselmann of the FBI,” he announced.
Genre: Mystery, Adventure
Subjects: Friendship, Truth
Summary: Gone. Vanished. Back only one
day and he totally disappears! The Reed’s family friend, a professor at a local
college who just returned from a research project in the Middle
East has mysteriously vanished with very few clues as to his
whereabouts. The FBI are convinced he is a terrorist while his friends and
family are convinced he is innocent and likely in great danger. Sixteen year
old Heather, dragging her brother and friend along with her, sets out to solve
the case herself and prove the professor’s innocence – despite warnings of
danger and commands to stay out of the case.
Notes: The characters in this story
are portrayed as Christian and use phrases such as “thank God”. The “cryptic
clue” is a reference to a Bible verse. At the end of the story, Heather assures
someone that God will forgive them. Apart from that it’s just an adventure
story. There isn’t a real message or lesson in it unless maybe it’s the concept
of having a good reputation. When reason is given to think the professor may be
a terrorist, his family and friends are confident he is not since he has a
reputation as a “Christian man”.
