Taking a deep breath, I dialed the number Dwight’s secretary, Amanda, had given me for Susie Brinkman. To my surprise, I heard a cheerful “Hello?” on the other end.

“Hi, my name is Josiah Reynolds. I’m calling for the Dwight Wheelwright estate. Is this Susie Brinkman?”

“Wheelwright estate? Has something happened to Dwight? Oh God, no!” rushed the voice on the other end.

“Ms. Brinkman?”

“Yes, this is Susie. Has something happened to Dwight?”

“I’m sorry to tell you this, but Dwight has been missing for almost six months. Do you know where he is?”

There was a long silence on the phone.

“Ms. Brinkman. We are trying to talk to anyone that had a connection with Dwight. I understand that you worked with him.”

I paused. “Farley Webb suggested that you were close to Dwight and that he might be living in Houston. If you could shed light on this, his family would be most grateful. All they want to know is if Dwight’s alive. No one will bother him . . . or you. Ms. Brinkman? Ms. Brinkman!”

“Where are you?” she asked.

“Uhmmm. I’m at home.”

“No, where are you calling from? What city?”

“Lexington,” I told her.

“I’m at the Bluegrass Airport on a stopover for New York. Can you meet me here?”

I was so stunned that Susie was in Lexington that I was taken aback for a second. “Yes, I can be there in forty-five minutes.”

“My plane leaves shortly after that. If you want to talk, you’d better hurry. I am wearing a grey pantsuit with a white silk top. I’ll be in the downstairs lounge.”

“Yes. Yes. I’ll be there as soon as I can. Please don’t leave until I talk with you. Goodbye.” I rushed to find my city cane, car keys and purse. “Baby, get out of the way!”

Slamming the door behind me, I gave it a tug, making sure it was locked. Rushing only made my limp more exaggerated. It was ugly to witness but I had no choice. I had to get to the Bluegrass Airport and pronto!!!
