Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Stanley Batton instantly answered when he saw the caller was Sebastian Brenand. "What's up?"

"Rachel Wood is missing," Sebastian said without much preamble, sounding very worried.

Stanley could even sense his desperation through the phone.

Frowning deeply, he asked, "When did she go missing?"

"She's been gone since last night," Sebastian answered. "All she left behind was a letter, telling me not to look for her. I only saw the letter after my meeting, but she might have left it in the morning.

"I don't know what time exactly she left because the indoor surveillance cameras lost signal in the morning while the exterior ones also failed to capture Rachel leaving. I've searched for her at the airport and train stations. I've looked everywhere. There were no signs that Rachel left," he added in desperation.

Hearing this, Xyla Quest moved closer to Stanley's phone with a shocked expression.

"What else was in the letter? Did she tell you why?" Stanley asked.
