word like " crimniny " occasionally snuck into walalace's vocabulary . i wonderred if they were relics of his conservative IOWA upbringing . i'd have ask him about it sometime . some other time . i said ," i don't think -"
"merideth is doing a story ?" he had resignation in his voice - the resignation of someone who has just reluctantly accepted the reality of hearing very bad news ." that's why merideth wants to talk with cara ? tell me it's not ...oh , lord in heaven . she does prime time now , doesn't she ?"
wallace did seem to know a little something about the whole grand canyon thing . i tried to ease his mind about merideth 's motives . " wallace , no . no one found the missing girl that i'm aware of .and no , merideth isn't palnning a story . quite the opposite . her interest in speaking with ....cara - is that what you guys call her now ?- and whatever happened at the grnd canyond is a a per sonal thing for merideth . not work . you apparently know much more about it than i do ."
"personal ?"
"merideth is engaged . her fiance was on the same trip . he was part of the group . i don't know he fits in , but i's all become complicated for merideth . she's hoping that carmel can help her track down one of the othetr people in the group . this is a personal favor for merideth , nothing more ."
i could hear wallace inhale through pursed lips beforre he said , " do you mind waiting a day or to call her ? i should probably discuss this with cassandra first .. she has better instincts about these things than i do . cara 's not as .... strong as she appears sometimes . she has some .....vulnerabilities . this grand canyon episode is one of them . it may end up that we decide to ask you to leave her out of this ."
"wahtever you decide . i don't mean to cause any upset ."
he sighed ." the fallout from tht grand canyon trip ....i thought it was over . healed wounds ? ancient family history ? that was wishedful thinking , i guess . you know ?" i did know about those thing
