INT. - 9th PRECINCT to COLLECTIVE OF ALL SOULS BUILDING - AFTERNOON
Gerri didn't have time to think, not with her phone ringing. Hoping it was either Ray or Kinsey and knowing she'd treated both badly, she frowned at the number and answered with hesitation.
"Doc." What the hell was Cici calling for? She didn't have time for head shrinking right now.
"Gerri." Cici sounded out of breath. "I need to talk to you. Right away."
"Well, I'm in the middle of a case." If her gut was right, she was. If not... well, Cici didn't need to know any of that. "Can it wait?"
"I'd rather it didn't." Was that fear in her voice?
"You okay?" Gerri's protective instinct kicked in as she strode to her desk. When did she start filing Cici under important people she needed to watch out for?
"I am," the therapist said, voice leveling out. "It's about... Gerri, it's just important, all right? Can you meet me at my office?"
