Billionaire Jeremy Groteks—owner of Caravel Slums and JuduWudu Enterprise, principal promoter of West Coast golf tournaments and sponsor of the Connecticut Spurs—has disappeared.
He vanished on his private island off Hawai‘i. The last people to see him were fishermen—he was with his Labrador, Carlos. The disappearance was reported by Carlos himself, who telephoned the police via a AI system.
Groteks’s wife insists her husband spent the night at home, in Mountain Bountain. In the morning he took a tuna sandwich, the dog, and went out for a walk.
How he ended up in the Pacific is unknown. The businessman’s elderly mother is worried: Carlos usually rang her, not the police.
Police do not rule out the possibility that Groteks teleported into another dimension. He has long invested in projects of this kind and financed research into transcendent states.
