Buck Fever (Blanco County Mysteries)
“He had tried to call John Marlin at about eight, but got no answer. The answering machine didn't even pick up. Colby hadn't expected to reach Marlin; it was, after all, just two days before the deer season. But still, it would have been nice to talk to him. Colby had a lot of questions for him.
The hospital was quiet, with only the occasional nurse wandering by Colby's open door. At ten o'clock, he rang Marlin again, still with no answer.
I've had enough of this place, Colby thought, and climbe...d out of the bed. He was still feeling a little woozy, but his strength was coming back quickly. “Hell, I've been kicked by a horse and felt worse than this,” Colby said to himself, to bolster his shaky legs.
