Chapter 38 What's His Name?

Anne glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already 2:30 AM.

Her parents were probably fast asleep by now, and she didn't want to worry them by making a late-night trip to the police station.

After wrestling with her thoughts for a moment, she decided

to call her husband, Dante.

The phone rang a few times before he picked up. The background noise was chaotic, filled with the sounds of laughter and clinking glasses as if he were at a poker game. Anne could even hear a woman's voice in the mix. "What's up?" Dante's tone was flat, lacking any warmth.

Anne skipped the pleasantries, her voice icy. "Come pick me up at the police station."

There was a brief pause, and then Dante's voice, laced with sarcasm, cut through the noise.

"In trouble, huh? You've really outdone yourself this time,

Anne."
