CHAPTER 6

When we got to the airport, I paid the driver and got inside the terminal only to remember I had left my bag at the hotel. First, I needed to get my plane ticket, though. I went to the airline counter and made the necessary arrangements. After that, I found the VIP lounge and sat down to call the hotel because I had enough time before the next flight to New York.

“Manzarin Hotel, good afternoon. How may I help you?”

“Oh, hi. This is Carol Sullivan. I’m a guest in the Fleur de Lis Suite. I had to leave the city in a hurry. There was an emergency at home and I came straight to the airport. Could you please pack and send my stuff to my home address?”

“Certainly, madam. Is there anything else I can do for you today?”

“No, thanks. That will be all.”

“You have a safe flight home, madam. Hope you can visit us again soon.”

I hung up and checked the clock on the wall. I had almost an hour to my flight’s departure. I needed to talk to somebody or I would go crazy. I called Bob in Boston. The phone rang for a long time before someone picked it up. It was a female voice I didn’t recognize.

“Sullivan’s residence.”

“Oh, hello, there. This is Carol. Carol Sullivan. Can I speak with Bob Hewson, please?’

“I’m sorry, Ms. Sullivan, but Bob took the day off. Would you like me to give him a message?”

It was just my luck. My parents were travelling it was natural for Bob to take the day off.

“It’s not necessary, thanks. I’ll try his cell phone. Goodbye.”

I called his cell phone but it went straight to voicemail.

“Bob, it’s me – Carol. I’ve just ran into my parents down in New Orleans. Guess where? At a sex club! Weird, huh? Or maybe you wouldn’t be surprised since you’ve known stuff about them you didn’t want to tell me, right?” I sighed in frustration. “Well, anyway, I’m sorry if I sounded rude. I’m not mad at you. I just needed a friend right now. I’ll try to talk to you later.”

Although it was pretty late in London, I called Dave’s phone. I wasn’t surprised to find out Dave and Jerry weren’t home on a Friday night. I tried both their cell phones but they rang for an eternity before I heard their voicemail electronic messages. I dialed their home number again, swallowed hard and left them a message.

“Hey, guys. I’m just calling to check up on you. We haven’t talked in a while and I missed you both. Take care. Bye.”

It was so frustrating. My world was falling apart all around me and I had nowhere to go and nobody to turn to. I checked the clock. I had time for one last quick call. I scrolled down the address book on my cell phone. For a fraction of a second, when I saw the name, I entertained the idea of calling Cindy.
