Show 364 I'm pretty sure to get something in a day or two. Then i f anybody calls after that, you can say you never heard of me, ha ha." She said something he didn't catch. "Sorry, I missed that," he said. " I said i t was all right." "Thanks," he said. "Listen, I really appreciate this, Gloriana. I'm going to grab a bite somewhere now, and then find a place to sleep in the car where I won't get mugged, and then maybe I can give you a call around noon tomorrow to see if anyone's phoned. Will you be home then?" "I don't know. No, actually, I wasn't going to be." "Well, I can try you later. When would be a good time?" "Lorin, it doesn't matter. I'm going to be gone all day so I won't be here if you do get any calls." "I hadn't thought of that," he said. Actually it had been the first thing he had thought of. "What time will you be leaving in the morning? I can give you a call then just in case anybody has called first thing in the morning. Sometimes they do that." "I don't know. All right, call me at nine. No, nine-thirty. After that I won't be here. Why can't you wait and call me the next day?" "Will you be home the next day?" "I don't know. Yes." "That's what I'll do then. But let me give you a ring tomorrow anyway just in case." She didn't answer. "I'll just go grab a bite somewhere now," he said. "Then look for a place to park." He listened while a bearded man with tattoos on his biceps got out of a cab and went into the liquor store. "Then I'll talk to you in the morning." He didn't hang up. "Lorin, Floyd doesn't want you here," she said after a while. |
