.... after a while both mother and daughter sat at the dining table facing each other,  there was a piece of paper in Molly's hand  , some mathematical  account was scribbled on it , this was the piece of paper alone with which she had gone to her room 

Mom do you remember that day  when Wendy was lost  asked Molly  in a most serious manner 

Yes of course  she had dressed up and left with someone  replied mom

Then you had handed me a red and  black  coupon  and sent me to the garage to get the  car repaired 

Oh yes I remember clearly 

At the garage  car oil also was changed  and the garage  stuck their sticker  on the car with the date and mileage  registered in it

 Molly spoke looking at the piece of paper,  the sticker is still stuck inside the car,  the odometer reading shows it had already covered  one lakh eighteen thousand four hundred two kilometers,  Molly paused and released a long sigh 

 And added  you also know  Salukis us a small township  , everything is available within  one or two kilometers diameter,  we both used the car to travel together long distance to reach that village ten miles away to find out more about  Wendy,  it means  going and returning trip was hardly twenty kilometers  so it ought to be added up becomes one lakh eighteen thousand four hundred twenty two 

What are you aiming at

Wendy is missing fifteen days 

I don't drive 

It's you answerable
