" ms . gregory says hello , and reminds you that you know the alarmcode ."
i made the mistake of saying ," i do ?"
"yes , sir ." hector 's eyes locked on mine and retrained me like a pair of handcuffs ," you do ."
" good , then ," i said .
hector didn't smile , but i thought he was at least mildly amused by reaction to his tough guy act . the clock behind the counter told me it was nearly 7:20
"ector ," i asked m after i'd taken a couple of steps toward the elevator ," how long will it take me to get to a restaurant on melrose , or maybe third ?"
" they run paralled , sir . but not long ."
" ten minutes wenough ?"
"in west LA ? YES , SIR . PLAENTY ."
" ANY FREEWAYS involved ?"
that question earned me a grin ." not unless you get lost ."
" thank you ."
" no problem , dr . gregory ."
dr. gregory . merdeth had told hector i was a doctor . he probably though i was a vascular surheon or somethig , which was why he couldn't figure out why i was friving a camry . merideth wouldn't reveal that i was a mere ph.D . until after she was confident that my reflection had stopeed shinning on her .
