He glanced at the clock and casually asked, “What about her?”

“Mrs. Ramirez…” Ranen replied, “She’s at Ivory Towers,”

“Bring her over.”

“Uhh…”

Everyone and their dog knew that Hawley had laid down the law. No one was letting Letitia take one step out of Ivory Towers without his say-so!

Elgin raised an eyebrow, “What’s up? Got cotton in your ears?”

Ranen had a lightbulb moment and answered, “It’s pretty late, the missus must be… must be sleeping by now…” Bingo! What a killer excuse! Ranen felt like giving himself a standing ovation!

“What are you spacing out for?” Elgin looked peeved. “Get on with it.”

“Mr. Ramirez, your arm’s in bad shape and needs a long time to heal. Since you’ve just woken up, how can you possibly…”

“That’s why I’m asking you to work your magic.”
