Chapter Fifteen

The chirp of Mercy’s cordless telephone awakened her Thursday morning. She managed to catch a glance at the glowing digits on her bedside clock as she fumbled for the receiver, punched the wrong button three times and finally made a connection. It was seven o’clock.

“Hello.” She pushed the hair from her eyes as she waited for a reply.

No one answered.

“Yes, hello?” she tried again as she folded the covers back and swung her legs to the side of the bed. She would have to get up anyway in a few minutes. Tedi had school today, and patients were scheduled at the clinic, in spite of the fact that this was supposed to be her day off.

Still no one answered, but she heard voices in the background, like a radio or television. And she heard someone breathing, and then a click and a dial tone.

She disconnected and shoved the telephone aside irritably. How rude.
