The Library
Kenosha public library was the milieu of the people from all hues of life. It harbored homeless people, newly arrived at the town along with the well-to-do residents of its older neighborhoods around the library and library park. The older patrons of the library used to seek entertainment and socializing opportunities at the library. The other group used the library as an information and learning hub.
It was an early spring evening. The neoclassical architecture of the library building seemed scintillating from bright lights reflected from grasses, sprouting leaves and inflorescence of large trees of the surrounding rectangular park, known as Library Park. Inside, it was full of different activity groups occupying different corners. Toddlers were busy with stories of flowers and insects. By this group was a cluster of members from Kenosha Knitting Circle, comprising grown and elderly men and women. The toddlers were keener on chasing bright and colorful balls of woolen yarns than giving an ear to the stories.
Middle and high school students were thronging here and there. Some were volunteering with the library. Their friends were just hanging around them. Some were doing their projects very seriously, scattered mostly around the reference section, history, geography science and literature sections.
Tanya and Asia screamed suddenly. They were standing in between the aisles of classic literature. Their friends rushed to them. They also screamed. Lisa, that evening’s student coordinator for the library, rushed to the screaming youngsters. She, too, shrieked. Her supervisor Mrs. Henkel was with the Knitting Circle. She went to the aisles of screams. Then, she called Detective Nathan Adams of Kenosha Police Department. Detective Adams was working alone because half of the Police Department was in quarantine then. His partner belonged to that half.
By the time Detective Adams arrived at the library, both the groups of haves and have-nots gathered around the classic literature section. The older group was occupied appeasing the young ones. Teressa LeRoy’s gown startled everybody. The gown was hanging from the shelves of the classics in the literature section. Teressa wore it on the night of the gala. Nobody had seen her after that night.
