Chapter 86: A Long Day Just Got Longer

Maggie glanced at the clock on the wall.  It was only 10:30 and she’d been interviewing witnesses for three hours.  This was going to be a long day.  One witness had just finished and the next one was being called when she was startled by the buzzing of her phone.  Checking it quickly, she saw that it was Michael. 

Dammit, Michael, I told you to text and not call.  She pressed the ignore button and reviewed her notes for this next witness.  Seconds later her phone buzzed again.  “Shit,” she swore softly, “I’m sorry, Rance.  I’ve got to take this.  I’ll just be a second.”

She stalked into the hall and found a quiet corner, stabbing the green button on her screen.  “What the fuck, Michael?!  I told you not to call me today.  I’m in the middle of about a million depositions.  I said text, don’t call.”

“Uh, sorry Maggie,” said an unfamiliar voice.  “This is Bobby.  I didn’t mean to bother you.  I just wanted to let you know they’re taking Michael to the hospital.”
