Whispers of the Dead (Tom Gabriel #2)
Page 28
‘It’s the guy with no sense of humour.’
‘I remember – face like a burst football.’
‘That’s the one. Are you still up for a meal?’
‘When?’
‘Tomorrow night.’
‘I can probably find something to wear by then.’
‘Got a home address?’
He wrote down the address she gave him.
‘Pick you up about seven?’
‘I’m getting hungry already.’
‘I’ll leave you to choose the place.’
‘You bet.’
He put the phone down. He’d go to the airport straight after lunch with Rae.
Mary Lou said, ‘We need more people.’
‘Employ two more. Give them each three of the six cases and let’s see how they do.’
‘And you’re going to Staten Island again?’
‘So it would seem.’
