故事文本：
I put my hand on my gun, and slowly opened the door wider. I saw nothing. I carefully picked up a towel from the floor. Nothing. "There must be someone in the bathtub," I thought.

我手握着qiang，慢慢地开门。我什么也没看见。我小心地从地板上捡起一条毛巾。什么也没有。“浴缸里一定有人，”我想。

In one fell swoop, I kicked the shower curtain back. "Don't move!" I shouted. Suddenly a little white cat jumped out of the bathtub and scurried between my legs. A cat. I should have known.

刹那间，我踢开浴帘。“别动！”我叫道。突然，一只小白猫从浴缸里跳了出来，跑到我的两腿之间。一只猫。我早该知道的。

"Oh, Jasmine! I forgot about you!" Anne said. The cat looked happy to see her. She took her into the kitchen. I poked around the rest of the bedroom, and then followed Anne into the kitchen.

“茉莉！我忘了还有你！”安妮说道。这只猫看似很开心见到她。她将猫带进厨房。我在浴室里看了一下，然后跟着安妮去到厨房。

"Does the cat have any food left in her dish?" I asked. "It's almost gone. Poor Jasmine! You must be hungry." "Well, Bill and Sarah haven't been gone long, we know that." I walked over to the telephone answering machine and checked their messages. No one had called.

“猫的盘里还有食物么？”我问道。“几乎没了。可怜的茉莉！你一定很饿了吧。”“好吧，现在我们知道，比尔和萨拉没走多久。”我走到电话答录机旁边，查看他们的的信息。没人打过电话。

We continued looking through the three-bedroom apartment. There was no sign of any violence, no burglary, no break-in. I checked in the master bedroom, and I saw nothing unusual: a beer bottle, photos of Bill and Sarah's wedding, some dirty clothes, an old Time magazine.

我们继续检查三间房的公寓。没有打斗、盗窃或闯入的痕迹。我检查了一下主卧，并没有发现什么异常：一个啤酒瓶、比尔和萨拉的结婚照、一些脏衣服以及《时代》杂志。

Next to the bed on the night table there was a bottle of pills. "Anne, what are these pills for?" "I think they're for Bill's leg. He messed up his leg playing football in college at USC," Anne replied. I put the bottle back on the table and sat down on the bed to think. I had no idea what happened to Anne's sister and her brother-in-law.

床边右边的床头柜上有一瓶药。“安妮，你知道这些药是干嘛的么？”“我想是治疗比尔的腿的。他在USC的学校踢球的时候弄伤了腿，”安妮回答道。我将瓶子放回桌上，并坐在床上思考。我不知道安妮的姐姐和姐夫发生了什么事。

They seem to have just disappeared into thin air. They didn't call anyone. There was no sign of any crime in their apartment. No one at their jobs had seen them for two days. Where could they be? "Well, Anne, I don't see anything here to help us. I think we should talk to the police again."

他们似乎凭空消失了。他们没给任何人打电话。公寓里也没有任何犯罪痕迹。这两天，他们公司同事也没见过他们。他们会在哪呢？“好吧，安妮，这里没什么可以帮助到我们的。我想我们应该再和警察谈谈。”

"But I tried talking to the police, Dr. Reeves! They told me to fill out some forms and wait. They won't do anything. That's why I went to you for help!" She began to cry a little.

“但是我报了警，里夫斯先生！他们告诉我去填一些表格，然后等着。他们什么也不会做。所以我才去找你帮忙！”她开始抽泣。

I stopped and looked at her for a second: God, I thought, this poor kid. Twenty-two, and in such pain. "Okay, well, we won't find anything else here. Let's go," I said to her. Just then I heard a telephone ringing. I turned to the phone on the table, but there was no sound. Then I saw Anne reach inside her purse: it was her cellular phone!

我停下来，看了她一会：天啊，我想，这个可怜的孩子。22岁的她如此痛苦。“好吧，我们在这里什么也找不到。我们走吧，”我跟她说。就在这时，我听到了电话铃响。我走近桌边的电话，但是没声。然后我看到安妮伸进她的钱包：是她的手机！

"That's my cell phone, Dr. Reeves." Anne said. "Hello?" I watched Anne's face as she answered the phone. First it was happy, then worried, then very sad. "Right...10 minutes...yes...see you there...bye!" Anne hung up and looked at me in fear. "That was Bill. Something terrible has happened! "

“是我的手机，里夫斯先生。”安妮说。“你好？”安妮接电话的时候，我看着她的脸。首先是开心，然后担心，然后非常悲伤。“好的..10分钟...好的...那里见...再见！”安妮挂了电话并恐慌的看着我。“是比尔。出事了！”
