[Jack Delaney]
 
The priest read and re-read the small article in the newspaper.  "Still No Trace of Missing Woman - Essex Police Appeal For Witnesses"  Jack shook his head.  He knew the woman and her little girl only vaguely - they attended his services from time to time.  He still could not believe that something like this had happened to someone he knew, let alone in the same area as him.
 
Jack had heard that some priests get 'attached' to their flock, and he felt something odd - a need to help.  Flicking through his address book, he found the address of the woman, and decided his best bet would be to go there and see if there was anything he could do to help.  Even if it was to find someone to look after the little girl.
 
Sorting himself out, Jack ran a comb through his hair, jumped into his car and headed to the address.  The garden would have to wait.
