The Shadow Killer (2011)
“Each row has eight lights— one for each phone line. The bottom light goes solid when Nova answers it. When she puts up the line for me to take the call on air, the top light goes solid. When we’re going full tilt that means sixteen greenish-yellow lights are blinking at me. Tonight there’s nothing. The lines are dead. The lights are dark.
Nova sends the intro for the next tune. I open my mike and announce the title on air.
“Here’s Madonna with ‘Papa Don’t Preach.’ If any of you out there can we...ave a connection between what our troubled friend is going through and ‘Papa Don’t Preach,’ you can have my job.”
Through my earphones, Madonna sings of an unmarried girl pleading with her father to accept her decision to keep her baby. I stare at the phone lines. The first three lines are for local callers. If 1121’s call comes in on one of those lines, we might be able to get to him in time.
But the lines stay dark. Madonna’s nearing the end of her song. I glance at the control room.MoreLess
