. " how the flu -" he sputtered before he said ." come on , how do you think ?"
he didn't want an answer . that 's probably why i gave him one , " i would imagine it was difficult , and painful ."
he laughed ." this is the point when i'm supposed to tell you how much i've missed you , right ? that it's so much fun being buddies with a shrink ?"
"thanks ."
don't mention it ." he gave me a chance to defy him . i didn't . to reward my restraint , he said ." wise ."
"i've missed you sam "
he allowed me a moment to get ready for what he was going to say next ." we need to be careful , aln . there are people in the department who see the convenience of what happened .....on that ranch in frederick . someone could still put the pieces together ."
i didn't plan to argue that point with him . frederick , colorado . was the site of the violent deadth of a woman who had it in for our families , sam's and mine . her death had not beeen serendipity - it had been preemptive self -defense on our part . mostly sam's . on the way tio that secreet finale , sam and i had created fresh enemies in boulder law enforcement - peope who would take fgreat satisfaction typing us to the woman's deadth , one the medical examiner had , for the present , called a suide .
i said ," we can't pretend we're not friends , am . that loooks suspicious too ."
" we need to be wise ."
"okay ," i said ." merideth called a few days ago . sam . she -"
"you told merideth you're in new york ?" he almost coughed out the words . that's how surprised he was .
sam wasn't much for gossip . but he could recognize the raw materials when they strewn out in front of him . he also knew mwe well enough to know that getting in touch with merideth was so fardown my usual to do list that it would be difficult for someone to spot without bunoculars .
