Don made the rare suggestion that Charlie drive to the airport then slumped in the passenger seat while Gil took the backseat for the silent ride. It was nearly dawn when the Mack partners boarded a packed flight back to Detroit, and when they parted ways at eight-thirty Saturday morning at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport they were tired, disheveled, and disillusioned. They agreed to regroup on Monday at the office.

Charlie settled into a cab for the forty-minute ride to her downtown apartment. Judy called a half hour later.

“I just wanted to make sure you all got in on time,” Judy said. “How do you feel?”

“My side hurts, my head is throbbing and I’m cranky.”

“Well, I’ll see you Monday. Get some rest,” Judy said, signing off.

Charlie was intent on going directly to bed and discarded her bag at the front door. She stopped at the bathroom for a pee and a swish of mouthwash but decided to take a shower. She unwound the bandage around her midriff; her bruises looked like smudged ash. She took as deep a breath as her injuries would allow and let the hot water soothe her body and soul. Fifteen minutes later she slipped into the flannel pajamas she wore when she felt sorry for herself and tucked herself into bed.
