The next morning.

My phone clattered noisily against my nightstand. That awful noise only made my foggy, aching head worse. I took refuge under a pillow, letting out a groan like a dying animal.

That stiff drink I needed to pass out last night might have turned into two or three.

When the phone's racket ended, I lifted the pillow from my head and groaned.

I could tell by how bright the sun was against my bedroom blinds that I'd overslept. By a lot. I grabbed my phone and checked the time.

12:17 PM.

“Holy shit,” I mumbled.

Numerous missed calls, all from Angela, greeted me a good morning.

I took a minute to gather my composure before I called her back.

“Liam! Where the heck are you?”

“Sorry. I slept in. I'm sick.”

She paused. “Oh? With a case of the brown bag flu?”

“Yeah,” I groaned with shame. “What gave it away?”

“Usually, sick people call in before noon.”

“Sorry.”

“Well, … what's the status on our car?”

I sat up and peeked through the blinds, spying the Acura Legend sitting ominously in the parking lot.

“Um, Scud's called me back last night, and I told them to do the job. Other than that, I guess we're stuck in a holding pattern.”

“Well. Alright. Good to know everything's moving forward, at least. Feel better.”

“Thanks.”

And with that, she hung up.
