Chapter 13

June 2005

THE call came in on my cell phone about an hour after I got into work. “Mr. Jennings?” the voice asked.

“Yes, this is Mark Jennings. May I help you?” I said.

“Mr. Jennings, this is Emily O’Toole at Crawford Long. You’re listed as Brian Jacobs’s medical contact. Is that correct?” she asked.

“Yes,” I said, and all the blood rushed out of my head and I was cold. So cold.

“Mr. Jennings, Mr. Jacobs’s been in an accident. I need you to come to the hospital so the doctors can talk to you about his condition. Can you do that for me, Mr. Jennings?” she said, her voice so calm and gentle.

It’s June in fucking Atlanta, I thought. Why is it so cold?

“Yes, Ms. O’Toole, I’ll be there as soon as I can. Where should I go to?” I managed to get out around the ice.

“Come to the emergency room. Ask for me. I’ll coordinate this. How long do you think it’ll take you, Mr. Jennings?” that competent voice asked.

“I’m already downtown. I’ll be there in fifteen minutes,” I said.

“I’ll be waiting for you. Please be careful, Mr. Jennings. But please hurry,” she said.

Oh God. Hurry. This was it. I’m not ready. Please. I grabbed my keys and a file I kept at hand and, after I ducked in to tell Todd’s assistant I had an emergency and would be gone the rest of the day, I got in my car and left.
