    In a hushed voice, Shelia replied, "Mr. Nichols, I-I think I just saw Debra."


    "Debra?"


    Shelia nodded, hesitating as she continued, "Not only did I see Debra, but I also saw the two men from the auction the other day. One of them seemed very close to her." One name instantly came to his mind: Marion.

    "Excuse me!" A melodious voice suddenly sounded outside the door.


    A woman in a red dress walked in, looking puzzled at the scene inside. She asked, "What''s going on?"


    "You are..."
