Everyone on the committee was surprised when Abigail Worthington was not there for the start of the meeting. After all, punctuality was her middle name. The Pastor's wife had lots of middle names, depending on the virtue being espoused at the time.
By the end of the meeting, when she had still not arrived, everyone was puzzled.
One of the members was so concerned that she rang the Pastor, to find that he was also concerned. She had not contacted him since breakfast. Which was unusual, because regular was Abigail's middle name. Another of them.
That was 16.45.
By 18.00, with no supper on the table, the Pastor rang the police and reported that she had disappeared.
Normally, the police required someone to be missing for 24 hours before they would allow a report to be filed. For Abigail it was different. After all, wasn't dependable her middle name. Yet another of them.
Messages were sent on the parish's WhatsApp, asking for any information and, of course, everyone's prayers.
At 19.47 police received a report that Abigail had been spotted at 09.46 – CCTV confirmed the precise time – being helped into a car. That was what the information said – helped. The CCTV images showed that quite a lot of help had been involved, from three people, one of whom sustained a sharp heel in the vicinity of his genitalia.
More messages spread through the parish. Abigail had been kidnapped.
