Chapter Nineteen

Doug Brooks was in a severe amount of pain. His side hurt. His head hurt. He was sweating. He had the chills.

He popped three more pain pills and sat on the edge of the bed in his cheap hotel room. He’d paid cash, which is why he had taken the time to find a cheap place.

What Doug really wanted to do was go home, crawl into bed, and let Nora take care of him.

But he couldn’t do that.

And he couldn’t think about Nora.

Now wasn’t the time.

He looked at his phone and dialed the number again. But, just like the previous fifteen times he’d done it, there was no answer.

Where was the old man?

Doug got to his feet, slowly. Shuffled to the bathroom and splashed some water on his face. The pills were taking effect and the sharpness of the pain had been blunted. There was more numbness now taking over and he forced himself to get moving.

Being a scientist, he had long ago given up any pretense of religion. As a boy, he’d dutifully trudged along to church with his parents, but as soon as he began his serious studies, he’d stopped and never gone back.

So when he prayed, it was more like a general wish to the universe.

Right now, he really wished he knew what was going on.

His greatest fears, long buried might be coming true.

We remember.

Had his attacker really said that?

Or had Doug imagined it?

The old man would know.

He was the only one who could know.

Where the hell was he?
