Chapter 10

Quentin was looking over the spread sheet for the newest project he was thinking of getting involved in when his phone rang. He barely glanced at the caller ID and answered it. There were so many people calling him over the past three days that he was getting irritated. He had to hire someone to answer his phone.

“Mr. Witt, Quentin Witt?” The voice sounded nervous. He picked up a pen to write down anything he might say. It was important, he knew, that if someone was going to threaten you to have as much detail for the police as possible.

“This is him. Who is this and what do you want?” The man didn’t say anything for several seconds, and Quentin nearly hung up.

“This is Doctor James at County General. Do you by chance know a Miss Debra Winters?” Quentin felt his body drain, and he went lax against his seat. His first thoughts were that Roger had killed her, too.

“I do. What’s happened to her? I’m not her family, but I will—”

“No. I realize that.” Doctor James cut him off. “She’s told us that and…she wants to see you. I mean really wants to see you. She’s been here since last night and, frankly, I’m not sure how she’s survived this long. But she is screaming for you. She said she needs to see you right now.” The doctor took a deep breath. “I’m sorry to tell you this over the phone, but if you could see your way here as soon as possible, it might ease her way. She’s…she’s not well.”

Quentin grabbed his coat from the back of his chair and asked the man to repeat where he was going. “I don’t know this area well, so if you could give me the address, I could get there much quicker.”

“Yes, she said you’d just moved here from Texas.” The doctor told him how to get there as well as the address. “Sir, do you know if she has a next of kin we can notify as well? You see she’s only said your name and that she needed to talk to you. She’s afraid that you’ll…she said that you might not come but that I was to convince you to be here.”

“I’ll be there. Tell her I’m on my way.” He was moving out the door to the elevator when he realized that his brother might be there and asked the doctor if she had anyone there now.

“No, she was found in the parking lot yesterday afternoon and brought into the emergency room. One of the doctors here was able to find out her name by recognizing her from the paper.” Quentin reached for Blair to see how to contact Diamond or Ruby to see if this might be a trap. “I’m going in to assure her now that you’re coming.”

Quentin ended the call just as Blair reached him back. “I’m on my way out the door. Good job on using your new skills. I was—”

“I’m so sorry, but I need to contact one of the others at the hospital.
