The Disappearing Man - Ross Thompson
Part One
The front door- bell buzzed again. Luke Mills hurried out of the lounge room. Luke and his best friend Jason Betelli were chilling at Luke’s house. No one else was home. It was the first day of the school holidays. The boys had no plans yet. For now, they were cool with just doing nothing.
Luke opened the front door. A man of about 25 years with blonde hair and wearing a yellow T-shirt, blue Jeans, and sneakers smiled at Luke and held out a small package. Delivery for Luke Mills.
Luke was not expecting any parcels. Are you sure you have the right place
? he said.
The smile stayed on the stranger’s face. Are you Luke Mills
?
Yeah but...
Luke stammered.
The stranger interrupted. Friend of Jason Betelli
?
Well...yeah,
Luke replied.
The man handed the parcel to Luke. All yours then. Bye.
He turned and walked back down the path.
Luke stared at the small parcel in his hand. When he looked up the stranger had disappeared. Stepping out the door Luke looked left and right up the street. Nothing. He frowned, ’Where did he go?’
Returning to the lounge room with the parcel Luke announced, it’s for us.
Jason was flipping through a magazine. Your family?
he muttered, not looking up."
No Jason, Luke exclaimed, us! Look!
Jason looked up at the parcel Luke was holding out. A delivery label on the top of the parcel read - Deliver to: Luke Mills, Jason Betelli, Julie Kostas - That was all. No address.
Jason stared at it. This was weird. Who delivered it?
A man, in a yellow T Shirt, blue Jeans, sneakers, blonde hair.
Did he say anything?
Jason asked?
No, he said it’s all yours and turned and left. I was looking at the parcel. When I looked up, he had gone.
How do you mean - Gone?
It was like he had disappeared, Luke said, either that or he was a fast walker. He was out of sight when I looked up.
The boys turned their attention to the parcel. Jason sat up. Let’s see what’s in it,
Luke tore the wrapping paper off to reveal a small cardboard box. He lifted the lid and they peered down at a slip of note paper. Jason picked it up. The paper had one short phrase – Please be at the City
