159 deadtime

. one without a conflict of interest - my discussion with her would be confidential .
since i had no way of knowing what cara had in mind , the only commitment i made to wallace was that i would contact cara as a concerned friend , anything that happened subsequently would be at her request , and by mutual agreement .
the last few minutes of the phone conversation with wallace had to do with the big part of the part " big , big favor ."
he wanted me to go LA  , t  talk with his daughter ." she won't leave work . she can't . she has to be on the set every day ."
"weekend ?" i asked .
" she won't come here ," he said ." not right now . she's made that clear ."
"she won't ?" i said , hoping to learn more .
"i know i'm asking a lot . you can probably tell from my voice that ths feels urgent , aln . will you be able to get away from new york for a couple of days ?cassandra and i will pay for everything , of course ." he wasn't trying to feign any nonchalance about the gravity of the situation . he wanted me to go talk to his daughter immediately . while i was fumbling to formulate a rely , he asked ,"
"how soon are you and jonas coming back to boulder ?"
"'m in boulder right now ," i said . i then offered a casule explanation of the recent progression of events with jonas in new york .
" risky ," wallace said ," for both of you ." he had immediately recognized the psychological vulnerabilities that  were implicit in the recent choices jonas and i had made in regard to white plains and uncle marty .
"yeah , it is risky . i didn't feel the other option were any more attractive ."
after about five seconds of deal air , he said ," you can make times , then ? to go to california ?"
i could hear the esperation in his voice . walllace , too , was selecting his stores from a limited panty .
we both knew i wouldn't turn him down .
