“She picked up the receiver and was surprised to hear Fred Rumford’s voice.

“Damn,” he said.

“Of course I’m sure. When I handed it over to Chris White I made him promise to bring it right back to me as soon as the pep rally was over. We agreed on a meeting place—by the ticket booth—and I was there right on time. In fact, I was early and I stayed for an hour, but there was no Chris.
