Piper — The Secret of the Locked Freezer

I learned this from Whitney, who had been contacted to confirm old addresses and family relationships.

The news traveled through me like a gust of cold wind.

“Is she all right?” I asked.

“She’s alive,” Whitney said.

“That’s all they told me.”

I thought of the freezer and the words Piper had spoken.

No person was inside.

Marlene was alive.
