Ted pictured the envelope lying open, its contents read. He figured his ex’s first reaction to being invited to his second wedding would be surprise. Followed by sniffling. Eyes reddening. Breath heaving. Ultimately, she’d be overcome. But not with jealousy, or any emotion for that matter. If the anthrax did its job this would be the last he’d hear of her.

You've over stayed your welcome, Mr. Stone. This gathering is invite-only and you're not on the guest list.

The vacation is ending—the girls are exhausted, and we are ready to go home. Disney World was magical, even if my husband is missing.

As I pack our bags and the girls sleep, a light knock at the door catches my attention as a gray envelope slips underneath. The writing on the front says, "FOR INVITE-ONLY," with my name and our hotel room number scribbled on the back. Ripping it open, I find a note that says, “SAVE ME. FOLLOW THE CLUES.”
