But Thomas Aiken Is Dead - Part I - Plot & Excerpts
There are entire forums online for parents who have also lost their children under bizarre circumstances. Most are sad tales that, from the outside, are obvious enough. A young girl is last seen at two in the morning walking back from a nightclub. An inveterate drug user incurs debts with a notorious pusher and disappears overnight. I have written your story down a number of times. It doesn’t look so flagrantly tragic as theirs. There are even more obscure forums for parents who believe they have lost their children to the Church of Ix. Angst got the better of me and I walked into the Herald offices yesterday. You always moaned about Dewey someone or other, so I asked for him at reception. The girl was young and inexperienced. I told her I was from the High Court and was visiting in regards to an ongoing legal dispute involving the newspaper and if she didn’t let me see Mr. Dewey immediately there would be dire consequences. She folded easily enough, walked me through the offices.
