The Missing Page of the Will
Henry spent the entire night studying the photographs.
The mysterious man appeared in more than thirty of them.
Sometimes he stood beside Richard.
Sometimes he watched from a distance.
But in every photograph, his face was partially hidden.
Henry called Thomas.
The lawyer arrived before sunrise.
When he saw the photographs, he became visibly shaken.
"Who is he?"
Thomas stared at one image.
"I think his name is Daniel."
"Daniel what?"
"I don't know."
Henry noticed something else.
A photograph showed Daniel entering Richard's office.
The date was two days before Richard changed his will.
"Thomas."
"Yes?"
"Did Daniel have access to my grandfather?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
Thomas remained silent.
Henry realized he wasn't telling the whole truth.
"Tell me."
Thomas finally sighed.
"Daniel worked for Richard twenty years ago."
"Doing what?"
"Security."
Henry's eyes narrowed.
"Why did he disappear?"
"I don't know."
Suddenly, Thomas's phone rang.
He answered.
His expression changed.
"What happened?"
The caller spoke for several seconds.
Thomas hung up.
"Someone broke into Richard's office."
"What did they steal?"
"Nothing."
Henry frowned.
"Then why break in?"
Thomas looked at him.
"They searched only one drawer."
"Which one?"
"The drawer containing the original will."
Henry's heart began pounding.
"Was it there?"
"No."
"The will is missing?"
Thomas nodded.
"And whoever took it knew exactly where to look."
Henry looked toward Leo.
The lion was standing outside the study door.
His ears were raised.
He was listening.

Then he suddenly turned toward the hallway.
Someone was inside the house.
