Driving away from Essie’s, I wanted desperately to talk to Jon again, hear his voice. We’d spoken last on Sunday, and now it was Tuesday. It seemed forever. His absence was almost like physical pain. If he called again, at least he would help me decide what to tell Marilyn until I could get Essie to talk. We’d be together, even if only on the phone.

With a mounting sense of dread, I dug out Marilyn’s cell phone and called Bernie to make sure she’d been released from the hospital. “No complications, for once. We’re home. She’s taking a nap.” That meant she’d soon be awake, waiting for my news. Why had I been stupid enough to let her know I’d found Essie and was going to see her? Why couldn’t I have waited?

Killing time, I stopped at McDonald’s. The first bite of greasily satisfying cheese-coated beef calmed me. The second brought inspiration. Given the desperation of my circumstances and the likelihood of Marilyn grilling me for information I didn’t have, I had no choice. I had to appeal for help from the one person most likely to melt Essie’s heart and loosen her tongue: Marcellus Johnson himself. I reached into my purse, extracted the phone once more, and dialed before I lost my nerve.
