Young Eva is increasingly upset about her constantly arguing parents. Together with her friends Jacky & Thomas she concocts a plan to disappear for a night.
Instead of just hiding in Jacky and Thomas' secret room, Eva has actually disappeared. Could it have something to do with the mysterious letter she found in the Colonel's garden?
After Jacky & Thomas swear not to tell anybody else, Eva explains what happened to her during three days she was missing: she was being held hostage and interrogated by the Colonel.
Thomas witnesses the Colonel getting shot, but doesn't get a good look at the murderer, apart from a pair of black gloves. Eva finds these gloves in her father's coat.
