An hour later the phone rang in my bedroom.

It was a woman’s voice, low and throaty. “You wanted me to call you?”

“I need to talk to you.”

“Talk fast,” she said.

“Is Maryann with you?”

“Are you putting me on?”

I asked what she meant.

“Don’t you have her? Isn’t that why you wanted me to call you?”

“We’ve got our wires crossed,” I said. “I’m working for your ex.”

“Doing what?”

“Trying to find Maryann.”

“I’m not sure I can believe you. I believed a couple of people in the last day or two and they didn’t turn out to be what they said they were.”

“Call your ex in Chapel Hill and ask him about me. Then call me back.”

She hung up. She called back in ten minutes. “I don’t know if I can trust you.”

“I want to see you,” I said. “I’m not a cop and I won’t bring the cops with me.”

“Edward said he didn’t know you very well,” she said.

“That’s true.”

“What do you think of Edward?”

“I think he’s a gutless asshole,” I said.

Peggy laughed, deep and warm and I could feel the hairs straighten on the back of my neck. “There’s a pay phone outside the quick food store … a 7-11 I think … near the corner of Virginia and Highland. Be there at exactly 9:30. The phone will ring at exactly 9:35. The call will be for you and you’ll get instructions then.”

“We have to go through all this run-around?”

“Or not at all,” she said.

“Done,” I said and hung up.
