Chapter 188
New York?
Why New York again!
What kind of magical place is this? I’ve heard about it several times in recent days, and now I’ve even heard it from Seraphina.
Also, A tall little dirt slope, flowers, grass, a pond, and a tiny wooden house. At first glance, it should be in a mountain, but on closer thought, the description didn’t seem
to match.
And… is Mart Geller from New York?
The documents were mailed to Seraphina by Sherry, I’d always thought that boy was from Chicago. Wasn’t it said he was a high school
classmate of Rita?
I called Sherry.
Before I could speak, she said, “I’m on my way to your place, ten minutes.”
“…Okay.”

It seemed she also knew something.

As promised, she arrived at my apartment in
ten minutes.
Sherry got to the point. “I woke up early this morning and listened to the content of last night’s recording. It gave me a big surprise. Seraphina is really good; she actually managed to get Rita drunk and extract some
information.”
I handed her a glass of orange juice.“Seraphina also sent me a message early this morning.”
We put the recorded conversation and the text message together.
They matched.
Rita was dazed with drink, her words slurred and disjointed, when a voice suddenly cut through the haze: “Where’s Matt Geller?” It didn’t sound like Seraphine- perhaps a
servant.
What followed was a drunken ramble, equal parts whimsical and chilling:“Hmm? Who?
Matt Geller? Heh… good place… hid him in a
good place… nice… pretty… tall little dirt
slope, white clouds, poetry and distant horizons… flowers and grass… oh
yes, and a tiny house, uh… would the pond water make him cold? Don’t worry, nobody’ll find him…”
Seraphina’s conclusion that it was in the mountains or countryside was correct, based on these fragments.
“Seraphina said he was in New York, but it’s not mentioned here,” I said.
Sherry explained, “The documents I sent her contained Matt’s basic information. He’s
from New York. Rita transferred there in the
second semester of her high school freshman year. She scarred some influential girl’s face here in Chicago, and to protect her, her family shipped her off to New York like
contraband.”
I understood.“So that’s how it is.”
Sherry listened repeatedly to Rita’s drunken ramblings.“A tall little dirt slope? Could mean foothills.”
I shook my head. “Mountain dwellers don’t
romanticize little slopes. This smells like
constructed scenery–maybe a villa’s artificial
hill?”
We hit an impasse.
Sherry, concrete jungle born and bred. Myself, childhood summers in a fishing village where cliffs met salt spray. Neither knew this pastoral limbo.
After thinking for a while, I said,“Perhaps we should go to Matt’s friends. He was so excellent, and he’s been missing for so many years. Surely someone must miss him.”
At my suggestion, Sherry snapped her fingers.“There was a girl! She dropped out after Matt’s disappearance. Rumored to be… close to him. If we find this girl, she might
tell us something.”
I agreed. “Since they’re both from New York, she’ll definitely understand what Rita meant by those words better than we do.”
“Tomorrow is Saturday. Let’s go there.”

“Tomorrow?”

“What? You have to work on the weekend?”
“No. Fine. Tomorrow it is.”
My attitude became firm again.
I straightened the napkin under my teacup. Even if they hold hands at New York’s love locks bridge, this matters more. I have a
missing person to resurrect.
