“That’s just the thing. Aunt Rita’s not completely certain it is them. Because, if it is, they haven’t aged since the day they disappeared. The Swiss government and Rita have requested we not look into it, still I was thinking, since we have an easy form of transportation. We could go to Zurich say and poke around? Ask a few questions? Unofficially of course!”
I'm curious about this, too. Are you going to write a sequel explaining this?

Excellent story overall. I'm especially impressed with your OC, Gregory Daee. He's a complex villain that a reader can empathize with while still acknowledging that he's done horrible things.

I will definitely be nominating this story for a Kerth.

"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
