The Takers and Keepers
by Ivan Pope
Where do the disappeared go? The girls and women who vanish, sometimes never to resurface. Allen Kimbo, a freelance journalist, thinks there is a circle of keepers – men who guard their taken. An email invites Allen to Belgrade, to a meeting of the Takers and Keepers. Allen’s girlfriend Emily pleads with him not to go, but he believes he can uncover more about this network. In Belgrade, Allen sees more than he had thought possible. However, back at home Emily is missing. 60,000 words
