Capítulo 52: Attractive

The police want to talk to me again, and aren't very happy I'm not returning their calls. Sheila lance also left a few mixed messages. The first one, she chews me out and fires me. The second she calls up to make sure I'm okay, and the last message makes me wonder if she's bipolar, as she simultaneously demands I call her back, and tells me my vacation is over, and I need to be back to work on Monday morning.

"AnnaBelle," I call to the older woman, "I've got three messages from Sheila. Have you called her yet?"

She looks at me, her eyes sunken slightly, and I truly feel bad for her. The mature woman's entire life had been built on a foundation of faith that had always seemed rock solid, but after the events underwater, her foundation is crumbling.

"I called in before we left, and told her that I had a sick friend I needed to take care of," AnnaBelle informs me. "I didn't know how long we would be gone."
