PROMPT November 17th

You have been invited to a posh dinner party hosted by one of the wealthiest people in your small town. When you arrive, your host is does not greet you, and the butler informs you they have been missing last night. A quick search by all the party goers finds him/her dead. Their body is in a small clearing in the woods bvehind the mansion. Being a modern day Nancy Drew/Joe Hardy type of person, you begin your own investigation. What do you find that leads you to the murderer. Who is the murderer? How was the host killed?

I call his phone, it rings but there’s no answer of course. I dig in his pocket. The murdered man must have been suspicious his life was in peril because he’d put his phone on to record before he answered the door to his killer.
A man’s voice said, “You’ve had enough time. I need you to come with me, now.”
“There’s no need to point that gun at me. We can discuss this like two reasonable people.”
“The boss is waiting for you in the car. Move it!”

The sound of the door closing and footsteps walking down the gravel driveway. Then a car door slamming. The car drove for a short way, until stopped.

“Get out!”
“I’m begging you. Give me another week. Tell Jack Reacher I promise to get his cash then.”

The sound of a gun firing and a car speeding away.
