Play It Again
“A cell phone flies across the room, hitting the wall so hard I’m certain it leaves a nick in the drywall. “I can’t take it anymore.”
I don’t look up, keeping my eyes trained on the computer screen in front of me, only vaguely listening to Jimmy. I’ve flipped through these images at least a dozen times over the last hour, thinking that maybe if I look at them enough, one will jump out at me. I hope it happens soon, because I’m running out of time. Vance is going to be here in a little over two h...ours to take me to dinner, and I really need to finish this last cover before then.
Jimmy’s cell phone chimes again.
And again.
And again.
He lets out a stream of curses, glaring at it from across the room, but he doesn’t move to retrieve it.
Taking a deep breath, I click the next page in my search results.
Inhale, exhale.
Breathe. Relax. Focus.
There’s no point in trying to talk to him. I already know what he’ll say. I’ve heard it all repeatedly over the last few days.
