98 deadtime

. don't even get me started on that guy . the call we got was from someplace in honduras . every try to wire money to tegucigalpa ?"
dewster intended it as a joke , no one laughed .
merideth 's eyes grew wiode ." but she has my baby ."
the detective jerked her attention toward merideth and said ," what did you say ? there 's a kid involved ?" she turned her head and glared at stevie ." nobody said anything to me about a kid ."
stevie's mouth flattened . i thought she was fighting an inclination to smile . she pulled her purse strap higher on her thin shoulder and looked and looked at merideth . stevie . stevie was happy to leave the explanation of the baby issue to others .
merideth said nothing . it was clear that she didn't want to go there , not with this detective friend of a friend . her fiance' probably didn't want her to go there . i imagined that he had specifically cautioned her about not going there .
" so kid ?" dewster said ." yes or no ?"
merideth shook her head . in a small voice she said ." i don't have ....any children ."
dewster didn't press it . she wasn't eager to discover any complications that woul;d extend her evening . she's done her reluctant favor and made a negative welfare check . she was eager to move on to with a dispirited wave of her left hand .
she was already speed-dialing her mobile with the other .
