CHAPTER 59

I WAS BATHING Julie when the phone rang

I grabbed it, stabbed the button, and growled, “Boxer” It was a juggling act, pinning the phone undermy slippery baby in hand

A voice said, “Mrs Molinari, this is Agent Michael Dixon from the CIA”

“Yes?”

My thoughts were as slippery as hter CIA? What the hell was this? Good news or bad? Had they found Joe?

“We’d like to have a feords with you”

“OK When?”

“We’re downstairs”

“Here? Now?”

“Yes, ma’am”

“Well, give me a second Make that five minutes and then buzz me”
