Postcard Pirate

The Galivanting Goblin card is gone!” Jasper Quinn stormed into Ruby Alden’s office at the Blue Haven Retirement Home. “I demand you find my postcard immediately!”

“Calm down, Jasper,” the petite Resident Engagement Coordinator said. “I just saw it before I came into my office.” Ruby went back into the hall to check the display case housing the Halloween antiques.

“That postcard is worth a pretty penny. My wife loves that card with its picture of the pumpkin-headed man kissing the young lady’s hand. She’s the one who gave it that unusual nickname.” Rage colored Jasper’s face and neck several shades of red.

“It’s my fault, Jasper. I’m sorry. I was adding the histories of the antiques, and the phone rang in my office. I dashed to answer it and forgot to lock the door.” Ruby was relieved when she realized that nothing else was missing.
