Holding an ice cube to his swollen lip, Beckett lisped into the phone. “I thed forget it!”

“Touchy, aren’t we, Tamara said . “Who saw you? ”

“Nobody! ”

“Nobody? Well, whoever your ‘nobody’ is, they can sure pack a punch! ”

“That girl at the barn tripped me with her darn broom! I fell! I hurt my shoulder again! Tore a ’ole in my jacket! ”

Wiping cold water from his chin, he said, “So I pushed her back, that’s what I did! Why not?” He licked his sore lip. “Watch what you’re doin’ I says! So I give her a shove and up she comes with that lousy broom handle right in my MOUTH! Splits me lip, almost knocks out a TOOTH and now—” checking in the mirror to see if it was still bleeding, he added, “I can’t find my wallet!”

“Which means you have to go back. ”

“Which means, they know who I am. ”

Silence. Then laughter.

“What’s so funny?” he asked.

“Well? It’s perfect! You go back for your wallet, act like a gentleman for once in your life, and you apologize. You should never, ever push a lady, Beckett. ”

“You call her a LADY?”

“I call her important. Something tells me she can help us, Beckett, ” the voice darkened, “without even knowing.”

This time, they both laughed.
