London this season seems to be a dreary place, suffering under the heat of an unnaturally hot summer. The place seems listless, the town is boring with not even the prospect of a scandal in the newspapers to look forward to. You seem to be spending most of your free time at the club, discussing the non-events of the day with fellows who seem to be like yourself bored with the whole thing. That is until one day the mailman brings you a paper containing a rather interesting item.


Strange Disappearance of Banker


It was announced today by the Metropolitan Constabulary that Mr John Wilson, Aged 43, has gone missing from his home in St-Johns Wood. Mr Wilson was last seen entering his study on Wednesday 20th April. Since then, no one has seen either him or his dog. It was initially speculated that Mr Wilson may have gone for a walk with his dog, but as he has been absent for more than four days the police are starting to treat his disappearance as suspicious.

Mrs Olive Wilson has told this reporter that he didn’t have an enemy in the world, but as a senior member of the St-Stephens Bank, the police have not dismissed the possibility of kidnap, yet no ransom note has been received.

the name John Wilson struck as familiar, the beard, serious-looking and stocky college roommate was a friend of yours for a numbered years back then.
