“Very good, detective. I can have an ambulance out there within the next ten minutes. Will you be there, as well?” she asked.
“Got nowhere else to be,” he answered, still looking at the woman and the baby he had helped to bring into the world.
“Fine. Ten minutes,” the woman repeated, then ended the call.
“Are you coming with me?” the new mother asked, looking at him above her mewling baby.
“Unless you’d rather end our beautiful friendship right here,” he said, giving her the option.
“No,” she answered. And then, in words that had been entirely unfamiliar to her these last few years, she said, “I’d like you to come.”
“Then I will,” he told her. Cocking his head, he listened for a second, then said, “I think the ambulance’s already coming. Must be a slow night,” he told her with a wink.
Just then, as the baby began to cry, he felt his phone ringing. “I think I spoke too soon,” he said as he took out his cell phone and looked at the call number on the screen. “Yup, I spoke too soon.”
The number on the screen was one he knew very well.
