The Mystery of the Lost 2nd Pair of Black Pants - a short story

For what seems like more than a year now, we've had a mystery at my home - the mystery of the lost 2nd pair of Black pants. 

I am aware there were actually two pairs of pants. That's not fake news. I remember distinctly when the owner of the first pair came home claiming to love them so much she bought two. Life was good and then, just like that, the pants disappeared. 

We're they abducted? Kidnapped? Squirrel nation was my #1 suspect, in revenge for trying to poison them? 

Time and resources spent looking for these pants stopped short of putting an ad in the local newspaper. The search was called off and like Air Malaysia, the pants were assumed lost forever. 

Until last night. I found the pants and sports fans, I can tell you with confidence, we was never finding those things on our own. Martin Luther King Jr helped find the pants! 

The pants are at home resting comfortably. They declined interview requests and asked for some privacy. The pants have no intention of visiting the white house, in protest of Tangerine in Chief!
