Jill and I left the Aberstocks with thanks, hugs and the firm assurance we'd do everything we could to reinstate the doc as soon as possible.
Neither of them commented on it, though as I climbed into Jill's cruiser, I couldn't help but feel like they only humored me, that they didn't believe I could follow through. I just hoped they were wrong because I had to have him back in the morgue.
I needed all the allies I could get.
