The next morning Friday she is up and gone before I get up. Like she said heading north she crosses the state line into Michigan and after about an ho...r she gets off the highway traveling down the side roads she's in a housing complex driving around looking then she sees a woman about 30yrs on hands and knees working in her yard. Kat pulls over and watches her the woman is dressed in a pair of jean shorts and halter top working hard at a flower garden after a little while Kat gets out and walks. Then he accepted the call as he walked over to where Marie was standing in the shallow water at the side of the pool. He handed the phone to her after putting it on speakerphone, and slid into the water beside her.Marie put the phone on the ground and spoke. “Hello dear. How are you, and how is your mother?” The caller was her husband Alvin, who had had to fly to a distant island to care for his mother. Brad had seen that the caller was Alvin and that is why he put the speaker on.Marie’s hands. " Mr. McKinsey pulled her into the nurse's office and closed the door.

But the hell with complications. I want you to come over again.
