Charles was sitting on the park bench.

" Mr Brown". Detective Springer sat down holding a styrofoam cup of coffee. " I figured you would be here".

Charles smiled. " Detective Springer".

" I have a female witness who was jogging right by this spot".

" Did she see anything?".

" She heard a commotion and then a plain white van leaving".

" Did she get a look at the van?".

" As it drove off she noticed no markings on it  and no license plates".

" Hard to trace an unmarked white van". Charles's voice hesitated. " Was she able to get a look at him?".

" She only caught a glimpse of him as he drove off". He threw his now empty cup in the trash can. " She described him as short, pudgy and wore glasses".

" Thank you Detective Springer". Worry came over Charles. " I will be in touch".

The Detective left.

Charles took out the business card from his wallet. He began to study it in earnest.
