The Ice Cream Man
It was 1:00 in the afternoon and the officers had just left the home of a devastated mother. Her ten-year-old daughter had been missing for two days. The last place she was going was to the candy store. Lastly, she described her daughter as a fun-loving girl who loved chocolate and candy bracelets.
With temperatures soaring well over one hundred degrees, the familiar song of the ice cream truck made the officers smile with relief. The officers stopped the truck, saw a sign that said “New Flavors and Toppings Weekly,” and ordered bowls of the week’s newest flavor.
The men got in their car, said how great the chocolate ice cream with candy toppings was, and attended to finding clues to where the tasty (oh–I mean missing) girl could be.
