Afraid he would ask more questions she had no intention of answering, she began another song. She was glad he couldn’t step inside the tape. But that didn’t prevent him from glaring at her back before he stomped off to join some other members of the media who’d gathered behind the tape with their camcorders.
She’d barely breathed a sigh of relief when he came back ten minutes later to interrupt her singing once more. “Something fishy’s going on around here. There’s a police guard at the house next door, and no one’s talking. What’s happening, Chelsea? And don’t give me that drivel about not knowing anything.”
She finished the song, then turned. “The mother saw her little girl fall into the construction site and disappear. By the time Max returned from town after calling the police, she’d gone into shock. He helped her home and made her lie down. To my knowledge, she’s resting and can’t be disturbed.” Chelsea prayed she sounded convincing. “The person you need to interview is Max, but he’s working with those firefighters, trying to figure out a way to get the child to crawl out of that pipe.”
He ground his teeth. “A lot of good your singing’s going to do. Did you try to get in and talk to the mother?”
“I have a job here and wasn’t given a choice.”
“You mean Jamison didn’t give you one.”
“It wasn’t like that, Craig. Both the battalion chief and Max asked me to help calm the child. That’s what I intend to do.”
Even from a distance, Craig looked livid. “Neither of those men has the right to interfere with your business as a reporter. Jamison’s not even on the police force any more, so he can’t order you around. Come on. Let’s walk over by the house. Joining forces might convince the police to let us have a short interview for tomorrow night’s show. If that fails, I know a guy at Pettigrew Realty. He can get us the background information on the family living in that house, plus the reason for this deserted excavation site. Unfortunately he won’t be able to deliver the goods before midmorning. You know the boss goes into orbit when we don’t come up with any new facts on a breaking story.”
