Heartshot (2011)
“The desk clerk looked up, saw me and reached into the cubbyhole for room 207.
“The gentleman who telephoned said to be sure you got this,” the clerk said helpfully, and I took the small message. It was from Sprague.
Sheriff: I’ll be flying back to Posadas first thing in the morning. Leave a message for me if you want a ride. Flight time anytime after 9 A. M. Plane is at Sultan Flying Service at the Inter-national. Sorry about Hewitt.
“He made me read it back to him word for word, so I know it’s... right,” the desk clerk said. For the first time I noticed how young he was…probably a high school kid earning a few extra bucks.
“Thanks,” I said. I handed him five dollars. “And thanks for getting it right. It was important. And will you set up a wake-up call for seven-thirty?” “Sure thing.” He tucked the money away and wrote out a time note to stick in the slotted board behind him.
I called the Hilton and left a message for Sprague that nine o’clock would be fine.MoreLess
