      “Attacked? What are you talking about?”

      Her friend’s voice screeched over the phone and Elise pulled it away from her ear.

      “Someone pretended to need help and when I went to help him, he knocked me on the head and stuffed me into his trunk.”

      Courtney’s breath rasped over the phone. “Elise, you’re joking. Tell me you’re joking.”

      “I’m not joking, Courtney. I got away. I’m okay.”

      “How can you be okay after something like that? Where are you?” She sucked in a breath. “Oh, God, you’re not in the hospital, are you?”

      “Not anymore.”

      “Not anymore? Where are you? I’m coming to get you.”

      Elise switched the phone to her other hand and wiped her clammy palm against the seat of her jeans. “I was hoping you’d say that. There’s more to the story.”

      A lot more to the story. She caught sight of Detective Brody’s head as he clambered onto a rock, his tie dancing over his shoulder in the breeze.

      “I don’t need a ride, but I was hoping I could crash at your place for a night or two. Your brother’s out of town again, and I don’t feel like staying in the house alone.”

      “Absolutely. Do you have your car?”

      “I do. Are you home now? I’ll drive over.”

      “I’m not home. I’m shopping, and I was going to grab some lunch. Why don’t you meet me for lunch?”

      “I can do that. Where?”

      “I’m at Union Square. How about Chinatown?”

      “I don’t know how I’m ever going to find parking there, but I’ll give it a try. Han Ting’s?”

      “I’ll meet you there at around one o’clock. Is that enough time for you?”

      Elise agreed to the time and ended the call. She held the phone out to the woman. “Thank you.”

      “No problem.”

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
