Liz and Gabe’s story
"I’ll take it in the living room," she said. Liz
walked
across the hall, picked up the phone, and waited for the
click from the kitchen before speaking.
"Elizabeth Matheson," she said in her most
professional
voice.
"I need your help."
He hadn’t said his name; he hadn’t needed to. She’d know
Gabriel’s voice anywhere.
"Where are you?"
"County sheriff’s office," he said. "They’re
about to
take me up to a holding cell. Ask for Gabe Leary,
Elizabeth, not Smith, and get here as fast as you can."
She’s already figured out that Smith probably wasn’t his
real name. "What did you do?"
"Nothing," he answered. "But they think I may have
killed someone."
Liz told herself she was a lawyer. Whether he did or
didn’t commit the crime, he had a right to counsel. Only
she wasn’t sure she could go through with it if he had. She
wasn’t sure which bothered her most: that he might be
lying, or that if he was, she’d kissed a murderer.
She gripped the phone for a minute, trying to think.
"Elizabeth," he whispered again. "Are you still
there?
I’m no good around people. I seem to be causing more
trouble for myself than helping." He was quiet as if
listening to her breathe, and then he added, "I need you."
She straightened. "I’ll be right there."
She hung up and walked back into the dining room, where
everyone was having dessert. "I have to go. I’m needed over
at the jail."
"A client," Claire said. "Oh, how exciting. Little
sister has a real client."
Liz grabbed her coat and purse. As she walked out the
door, she yelled back, "No. A date."
