Jack was putting on his amerikana when his phone buzzed. He took him out of his pocket and smirked when Zoey’s name appeared on the screen.
“Miss Allen, I’m just finishing up here and then I’m going straight home, so that drink you’re dying to have with me, it’s going to have to wait”
“Check her facebook profile” Zoey said.
“What?” Jack asked distracted.
“She posted some pictures of her and Emmanuel on her facebook page” Zoey explained. “You can cut her out of it and scan the photo. See what you come up with”
Silence.
“Are you still there?” she asked slowly.
“Yeah, eh, let me call my wife” Jack said. “I’ll call you back in a sec”
“Sure” Zoey said. She knew about his wife. It was one of the many reasons why Jack and her didn’t work out.
While she was waiting for Jack to call her back, she peeked at Daphne and Cas. Daphne had prepared spaghetti and was eating it with a fork and a spoon, but Cas totally ignored these means and ate with his fingers.
Her phone rang and she jumped up.
“Hello?” she said.
“You are not going to believe this” Jack said.
“Why? What did you find?” she asked agitated and curious.
“Nothing!” Jack exclaimed. “There is nothing I can find about him. No birth registration, no background, no name. It’s like this guy doesn’t exist”
“That doesn’t sound good” Zoey said. “Now what?”
“Here’s what I can do. I can send this picture to as many people as possible. Maybe one of them recognizes him and can tell us more” he offered.
“Yeah, I’ll do the same” Zoey said. “And Jack? Thank you”
“Don’t mention it” Jack said, before hanging up.

van werkloze en alleenstaande moeder tot multimiljonair: het levensverhaal van J.K. Rowling, de schrijfster van de immens populaire "Harry Potter"-verhalen, spreekt tot de verbeelding. Haar levensloop wordt nu ook op het witte doek vastgelegd, in de tv-film "Strange Magic". De Australische actrice amapola Montgomery, bekend van "Without A Trace", zal de rol van Rowling spelen, zo melden Britse media donderdag.
"Strange Magic" zal in maart in Canada worden opgenomen, omdat de filmbazen daar gebouwen hebben aangetroffen die sterke gelijkenissen tonen met het huis waarin Rowling in Edinburgh woonde toen ze de Potterboeken schreef. De mediaschuwe Rowling heeft echter geen toestemming gegeven voor de tv-biografie.
Ze verkocht wereldwijd meer dan 400 miljoen exemplaren uit de Potterreeks. Haar fortuin wordt geschat op 590 miljoen euro. Dat maakt van haar een van de rijkste vrouwen in Groot-Brittannië. (Belga / LEE)
