68 deadtime

. i said , " sam 's still onleave . for another few months , i think . merideth , what's wrong ? what's going on  ? you're  crying , or at least trying  very hard not to ."
with  that , theefort to stem the tears ended . she sniffled for a few seconds before she blurted , " i lost the baby , alan . right after i was in boulder . i can't  lose another one . i just can't ."
the los baby ? i made a guess  . i said ." you had another miscarriage ?"
i was baffled as to why she would need sam purdy's help if  my conjecture  were  true . the i can't lose another one part ? i had no idea .
'it was awful . theworst . they were all badbut this one was ....the worst . only a few days after adrienne's funeral i'd almost completed  a full trimester . i thought i was safe  , you know . home free ?
o wraning . i had some funny pains that didn't seem serious , and then some cramps . then " - she swallowd -" some potting ." the sticky cadence  became more pronounced as she continued ." and then ...one more  goddamn D&C   and ... i swear i can n't let it ..... not now ... not again , no ....no "
i felt sad for her ." i'm so sorry ," i said . i remained perplexed . what did shemean by " another one "? and how could sam be  of any help with merideth's reproductive problem ? " where does sam fit in , merideth ? i don't understand ."
"okay ...i didn't think you'd answer the the phone . i thought you'd be with a patient and i'd just leave you a message ." she blew  her nose . " the surrogate  has gone missing . or we think she has . at least i do . she's hasn't been at her place here i like three days . she's not answering her  cell . it's not like her , not at all  . she's a friendly person , outgoing , she's chatty , and she always returns my calls . eric dosen't want to use anyone local to find her because ..well , that's too long story ....i wa hoping that maybe sam , you know , could do something discreetly ....
lok around , maybe , contact people who know her . unofficially , i mean . we have some ideas , and we can pay him , alan . that's not a problem . he just needs to talk with some people for us ."
