Free Mystery: The Coming Back: (Mystery, Suspense, Thriller, Suspense Thriller Mystery) by James Kipling

autistic people to behave in the way she saw him behaving. The scene had raised a red flag in her mind and Lydia knew that she needed to investigate the matter further.
    Lydia Chen was a good looking woman, whose long dark hair and charming smile had made many men fall for her, especially when she decided to put some effort into it. She liked to dress casually, in jeans and sweaters, leaving the suits for the times she was in the office. For her, life was more than a good career, a lot of money and powerful friends.
    On the contrary, she despised people who choose to live their lives that way. Her job was her life. Her research and patients had given Lydia a purpose much higher than the bare money or success. Her job had given her a purpose in life, something to live for.
    However, it wasn’t an easy life. No, dealing with people with many problems was not an easy thing to do. But, Lydia wanted to help and that gave her strength to continue.
    The fact that life had sent him to Savannah, she took as sigh and the few weeks she had already spent here has been good for her. Hopefully the worst was behind her. The long days and night she had spent suffering, while coming here had been the worst in her life. Her body and mind had fought together against the despair that had been slowly bringing her down.
    Today, Lydia had witnessed the fall of another human being. Stanley Douglass had presented himself as a confident, powerful, determinate man, who knew what he wanted and was ready to take it. His actions around the other man had been confident and superior. Stanley was the man in that relationship, and that was something Lydia had not been expecting from someone with his background.
    It was not an anomaly to be gay, but it was disconcerting that he would take a man the way he did. According to Stanley’s files, ten years back, he had had friends and had been well respected by his teachers and the doctors. His parents had refused to send him to some of these clinics for people like him and Stanley had been taken care by his parents.
    Stanley had been making great progress in his life and making plans for the future, when he had disappeared. The few weeks after he had finished school had given him enough time to examine his past and to start dreaming about the future. He had been impatient to enter the real world and to lose himself in the new life, he had been dreaming about.
    The man that had returned ten years later was a complete opposite to that young boy, full of dreams and hopes for the future. What was more, in one of his files, Lydia had found something about a girlfriend. How was it possible, then, Stanley to be gay now? The bi-sexuality was a possibility, but after what she had witnessed, Lydia was sure that that man was not interested in women.
    Unsure of what to do next, but sure that she needed to know more, Lydia went once again through the files and her own notes and found the name of the girl that Stanley had been going out with ten years ago. Sarah Stack had been one year older than Stanley then, therefore, now she should be 33 years old.
    Lydia used Google to track Sarah Stack down and was glad to see that she still lived in Savannah. She found her home address and later in the evening went to knock on her door. Sarah Stack was surprised to see her and hear her questions about Stanley, but once Lydia explained her reasons, she was glad to help.
    “Stanley was a wonderful boy,” she explained. “We were together the whole school year and even made plans to meet during the summer, but then he suddenly disappeared.”
    “He never called you after that?” Lydia asked.
    “No, I never heard from him after the news about him missing hit the news. I even went to his house one time, but his parents still knew nothing about him.”
    “How was he when you two were together?”
    “Stanley was the kindest man I have ever seen. He was gentle, understanding, always a gentleman,” Sarah said. “I remember him bringing
