Martha<\/div>
That’s probably Ian calling. Again. Hello?  \n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Ian<\/div>
Hello, Martha, can I speak to Jerry?  \n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Martha<\/div>
Certainly, it’s Ian, for you.\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
Me<\/div>
Thanks. Hi Ian, old pal.\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Ian<\/div>
Where were you this afternoon, Jerr?\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
Me<\/div>
Well that’s a silly question.\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Ian<\/div>
I’m glad to hear you say that, Jerry.  \n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
Me<\/div>
Why?\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Ian<\/div>
I wouldn’t have called you at home, because I know it’s tough for you to talk, but I had a call a little while ago from the police.\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
Me<\/div>
Look, Ian, gonna have to call you back. I have to.\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Ian<\/div>
Hold it, Jerry, all I want to know is that you were playing the same Wednesday scene today.\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
Me<\/div>
Certainly.\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Ian<\/div>
That’s what I figured. So I told the sergeant that you were in my office most of the afternoon. They’re calling about a hit-and-run driver in a car with the same first two numbers as your license.\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
Me<\/div>
Must be a ton of those calls to make.\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Ian<\/div>
I knew it couldn’t be you because I knew where you were so I backed you up ol\u2019 buddy!\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
Me<\/div>
Thanks, thanks very much, Ian! I’ll check in to that tomorrow after breakfast. Talk to you later! Bye.\n\n\n\nThe best way\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Martha<\/div>
Jerry?\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
Me<\/div>
What?\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Martha<\/div>
Phone call for you. It\u2019s Mrs. Thompson.\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
Me<\/div>
Oh. Thank you. Hi Mrs. Thompson! By the way, have you heard from Ian?\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Amanda<\/div>
No. What\u2019s wrong?\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
Me<\/div>
First, everything’s fine, just fine. Project came through as planned. And the car is fixed.\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Amanda<\/div>
Oh, I knew it would work! I knew it!\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
Me<\/div>
But Ian’s been trying to reach you all afternoon.\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Amanda<\/div>
Oh that’s probably nothing.\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
Me<\/div>
You make it sound like nothing.\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Amanda<\/div>
Look, I’ll go right home and calm it down. But Jerry, you might say thank you. After all, this was the best way, wasn’t it?\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

* * * * * * * * *<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hit and run<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>
Ian<\/div>
Where have you been?\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Amanda<\/div>
Out shopping. I got home and got your message about the hospital and rushed right over here. Well, what is it?\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Ian<\/div>
Brace yourself.\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Amanda<\/div>
What’s happened?\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Ian<\/div>
Tommy —\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Amanda<\/div>
Tommy? Oh no! Where is he?\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Ian<\/div>
He just came out of the operating room about half an hour ago. We are waiting for him to come down.\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Amanda<\/div>
How is he?\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Ian<\/div>
They think he may be all right.\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Amanda<\/div>
What’s the matter? What happened?\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Ian<\/div>
Some lousy hit-and-run driver ran right into him on his bike and drove off!\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Amanda<\/div>
No-oh!\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Ian<\/div>
Doctor said it went pretty good!\n\n\n\n <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Driving me crazy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>
Amanda<\/div>
God please tell me he will be all right!\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Ian<\/div>
We don’t know. He’s been driving me crazy asking for you!\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Amanda<\/div>
No, no, no, it’s not true! It’s not true!\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Ian<\/div>
Imagine anyone doing that!\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Amanda<\/div>
But what was he doing way —  well, I mean, how did it happen?\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Ian<\/div>
What’s the difference? It happened!\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Amanda<\/div>
No, no, no! Please, you\u2019ve got to tell me, I\u00a0have to know!\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Ian<\/div>
Get a hold of yourself!  You’ve gotta stop crying.\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Amanda<\/div>
Sorry, I had to cry!\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Ian<\/div>
All right, yeah. Hold the phone. Tommy’s here!\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Amanda<\/div>
I’m here, Tommy! It’s, it’s all right now, Tommy.\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
Tommy<\/div>
I know it.\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Amanda<\/div>
Tommy darling!\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
Tommy<\/div>
Mom! Oh why didn’t you come back? Why didn’t you come back?\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Ian<\/div>
What’s that he said?\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Amanda<\/div>
He’s delirious! He’s in shock!\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Ian<\/div>
Why didn’t you come, is that what he’s saying?\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Amanda<\/div>
Hush, Tommy.\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
Tommy<\/div>
I kept calling, and calling, but you didn’t come for me! You didn’t come!\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
