Chapter Fourteen
Every time Gemma called Dani’s cell, it rang like an old-fashioned land line. No answer, no voice mail. She needed to get hold of her because she was going to be late coming home. She hadn’t finished the report she was working on, and it had to be to the director when he arrived in the morning.
Damn! Why today? She’d been so looking forward to seeing Dani again. She was so cute and so fun. And she was so incredible in bed! Gemma’s body ached to be touched by her again. Oh, well, she thought, it’s only a couple hours later. I can survive that, even if I haven’t been laid in a couple of years, as Miko continually reminds me. But she didn’t want Dani sitting on her doorstep wondering where she was.
Dani was incredible. Gemma was surprised at how much she liked her already, at how quickly she had taken root in her mind and heart. One date and she was soaring, daring even to let her thoughts roam into the scary realm of marriage. Of course, it had to be too good to be true. Dani had to be too good to be true. There was some deep, dark secret she was hiding, surely. Gemma cautioned herself to expect that, but her hopes still flew to the heavens.
Again Dani’s number just rang and rang. “What the…”
“What’s the matter?”
Gemma jerked her head around to see Lois enter the cubicle.
“I thought you were gone.”
“I forgot my sunglasses.” Lois snatched them from the top of her disorderly desk. “Why are you cursing at your phone?”
“I’m trying to get hold of somebody. I have a…an appointment with this police officer. I wanted to tell her I’d be late. She’s not answering her cell phone and there’s no voice mail. It’s the only number I have for her.”
“Did you get burgled or something?”
“No, it’s…it’s nothing. Just a car accident I witnessed.” Gemma had no intention of telling Lois anything about Dani. At least not until they were married, and then she’d tell everybody. But until then, she’d keep it to herself. She didn’t want people asking questions or offering sympathy if it didn’t work out.
“Just call the police department,” suggested Lois. “They can always relay a message to one of the officers.”
“Thanks. That’s a good idea.”
Lois smiled and settled the sunglasses over her nose. “See you tomorrow.”
Gemma looked up the non-emergency number for the San Francisco Police Department. After being transferred twice, she finally got someone who said he could help her.
“I need to get a message to one of your officers,” she explained. “It’s important and I have to be sure she gets it before she leaves for the day.”
“Yes, ma’am,” the officer said. “Do you have a badge number?”
“No, but I have her name. It’s Daniella Barsetti.”
“Hold on one moment,” he said.
She waited impatiently, tapping her toe on the floor.
“How do you spell that last name, ma’am?”
She spelled it for him, just as she’d seen it on Dani’s name tag.
