Chapter Three:
Kris drove towards home, furious at herself. She had now practically revealed her secret. Now they knew that something was wrong. Of course they still didn't know what it was, but what did that matter? It had interfered with her job, even though she had been determined that that would never happen. Damn it all! Why wouldn't these dreams leave her alone? It had just been a routine case. Sure she had been in danger, but she'd survived it, and it was over. It was part of the job and came along with being a detective. She should not be affected like this. And what was going to happen now? She'd been effectively put on a leave of absence. Was her job now in danger? That seemed almost worse than her life being threatened. Well she was home now, and just for now she'd try not to think about it.
Jill Monroe was sitting in an elegant French café, celebrating her latest racing victory with a friend. "Oh, Anton. You're such a flirt!" she laughed.
"It's easy with you Jill!" he replied.
Just then, a waiter brought a telephone to the table. "Phone call for you, Miss Monroe."
Jill was surprised. Who could be calling and how did they find her? "Hello?"
"Hello Angel," came a familiar voice from the other end.
"Charlie! I should have known. With you wonders never cease. What's going on?"
"I'm afraid I don't really know, Angel. All I know is that it's about Kris."
"Kris?" Jill was instantly on the alert. "What's wrong with Kris? What do you know?"
He began to tell her what Bosley had said about the incident in the office. "She won't talk to them about whatever it is that's bothering her. Kelly thought that she might talk to you."
"Oh she will. I'll see to that. I'm on my way, Charlie."
"Thanks, Angel. I knew that I could count on you."
"Of course, Charlie. She's my sister. Bye." She said as she replaced the receiver.
"What's wrong, Jill?" Anton asked her.
"It's my sister. She needs me. I have to go. But first I have to do some things. I'm sure you understand." She stated picking up the phone again. And of course he did.
