(1)A Question of Rights Unfortunately, a crime was about to be committed but at the moment Lesley was unaware of the impending(即将发生的,迫近的) event, which would affect her life so drastically(极端地,彻底地) for the next two years. For the moment at least, her holiday at the cottage had been ideal. She had spend many idle hours relaxing on the deck, reading, eating a sandwich when she was hungry and in the evening watching the sky turn from brilliant orange to peach and finally to pale purple, eventually the light becoming dim. It was about this time that the mist would begin to rise from the cool water hiding in the dense forest that hugged(环绕,拥抱) the shoreline. Late evening dew glistened on every bush and soon the loon?s(潜鸟) call would resound across the water. She decided to take one last dip in the lake. As the cool night air touched her arms, she gave a little shiver and decided in was time to move inside. This was to be her last evening alone as Jeff, her former mate, would be returning Zac to her early in the morning. As the case in many marriages these days, problems had arisen between Lesley and Jeff, but they did not extend to Zac. He was a good kid, just entering kindergarten. The couple had come to a mutual agreement, as dictated by the legal custody(保管,监管) agreement. It stated the each parent would share Zac?s care every second weekend and this had been her weekend to be alone. Jeff was an architect, which a high profile reputation, who worked in downtown Toronto, a partner in a private corporation wh ich mostly did consultant work for the university. Lesley?s company had been hired to advertise the new science complex in order to raise corporate money for the proposed building. She liked her work and she harbored a secret ambition to manager her division of the company some day. After a whirlwind courtship(求爱,热恋) and a fairytale wedding the couple had settled down to and urban lifestyle. However, after three years and one child the dreamlike marriage came smashing down. One disadvantage of being young and ambitious(有抱负的) was that both of them needed to devote untold hours to their busy schedules. As a result of these late hours, Lesley became suspicious of Jeff?s after hours activities. She accused him of make her part of a love triangle. The whole miserable scene was to set the proceeding for an ugly divorce in motion. Daydreaming about those earlier days would not help tonight. So with a shrug of her shoulders she tackled the advertising assignment she needed to complete. Tomorrow would be a busy day with Zac arriving home. The next day, as the morning wore on, Lesley became more and more agitated(烦燥), and her mood became apprehensive(忧虑的,不安的) when Jeff did not appear. When noon hours arrived and he still had not appeared, she started making some phone calls. None of their mutual friends had either seen or talked with Jeff that day. Until today, Jeff had always been very punctual about returning the boy at the appointed time. Lesley felt a knot forming in her stomach as a crazy thought persisted at the back of her mind. She was absolutely sure something was wrong. Jeff sat with his head bowed. He was undecided what to do. The domestic arrangement with his former wife was proving to be awkward. He was frustrated at being able to see his son only on weekends and felt he was always making concession to accommodate(适应,迁就) Lesley?s work schedule. Every meeting was turning into a competition for the boy?s affection. His one desire was to take Zac away for good. The enormous decision to undertake this plan appeared to be presenting itself. Today he would depart for a conference in California. This appeared to be marvelous opportunity to take the boy and leave the country for good. He bet that he could pack sufficient baggage into his vehicle and then disappear across the border, gaining entry the U.S.A He gave little thought to whatsoever of the fact this act could lead to his conviction if he was tracked down by the cops. Meanwhile, for Lesley the nightmare continued to unfold as the reality of the situation deepened. After 48 hours, the spokesman for the district polic e department assured her they would investigate Zac?s disappearance. Her faith that justice would be realized was faint. The shock of the past two days? events made her realize that possibly her
