My partner answered the phone on the second ring. "You must miss me badly, Goren," she said. "This is your second call today."
"Is it?" I did miss her, but should I say so? Best to ignore her joke. "Um, Eames, I can't find the new registration card for the SUV."
"It came just before I started my leave. I stuck it in the pocket of your leather folder."
I hitched my shoulder to trap the phone as I ransacked my binder. "Got it!"
"Didn't I tell you it was there?"
"Probably." I'd forgotten. "Thanks."
"No problem. So, are you and Bishop on a case?"
"No, I'm done for the day."
"Want to bring a pregnant friend some Chinese food?"
