These Dreams of You

He looks at the laptop and an open email: Hello Viv. I write to you with troubling news and that is the woman who I believe might be Zema’s mother appears to have disappeared under suspicious circumstances related to my questions about her. It is not clear if she has run afoul of the law and is in jail or something more ominous has taken place. It also is possible that she has fled the city or even the country. In any case if indeed there ever was someone at the end of the trail, now she has vanished. For reasons and by means too complicated to explain here, it would seem to have come to the attention of the authorities that you have been sending money to Zema’s grandmother and family which has raised suspicions of child-trafficking and the possibility that Zema was sold to you by the mother, though it is difficult to be certain how seriously they take this. It all is most unfortunate I know but is becoming a common concern as adoptions are on the rise. The police are not answering any questions but ask many and it is all most confusing I am afraid. For the moment nothing has happened to Zema’s family but an investigation seems under way and no one is saying anything and strongly I would suggest that whatever contact you have cease for a while and that any inquiries as to Zema’s mother stop as well. It also is possible that the woman in question is not Zema’s mother at all, this has not been established. I now must be careful with my investigations and perhaps go “undercover” awhile but should I learn more information I will attempt to send it along in as discreet a fashion as I can. I am sorry for this news.
