[MaC] Seperated - Nicola, Michael & Hodges

[Mrfury28 at aol.com]

Poking out from under this letter was one Tabitha had begun to write to her 
son -- but she's only got as far as writing "Liebster Karl".  There was also a 
rather sharp letter opener.

Hodges picked up the letter opener and examined it.

>From here they moved to Nicola's flat.

Hodges and Michael were able to see into her bedroom while she was locking Mr 
Bob away.  There was an open jewelry box on her dresser with gobs of jade 
jewelry and a silver locket with a picture of two older people inside, as well as 
a picture of Nicola on the arm of a shady-looking man a high-society party in 
New York.

Her diary was open to the last entry (Dec. 23, 1940).  The entry read as 
follows: "I must find him as quickly as I possibly can. I fear the consequences to 
be dire if I don't." Before they could read any further, Nicola came back 
into the room and hastily closed the diary.

Hodges averted his gaze from Nicola's diary, embarassed at having read it 
accidently.  "My pardon, Miss Douglas."  He apologized.
