Ch 3- The Phone Call
"Spinner?"
"Who is this?" he asked that afternoon.
"Lisa, Paige's friend."
"Lisa? Are you the one that came here a few times? From Bardell right?"
"Yeah that's me," she said as she swallowed hard. Paige didn't know she was calling him, she used the excuse that she forgot her phone and so Paige lent hers to Lisa.
"So...what can I help you with?" he asked sounding tired. "Paige isn't here if you you're looking for her."
"Yeah...that's why I'm calling. I know where she is."
"What?! Where is she? Is she ok? Have you seen her?" he fired at her.
"First off-she's here in Bardell. Yes she's ok and yes I have. I'm on her phone right now. She doesn't want you to know where she is but I think you need to know. That way you won't lose as much sleep at night, I mean knowing she's safe and all."
"She's in Bardell?" he asked incredulously. "What is she doing there?"
"She said she had to get away, do some thinking."
"She couldn't think here?!"
"She told me that you would bombard her with questions and things."
"Oh, fine. She thinks I suffocate her? Fine, she'll have it her way. I'll just leave her alone," he said suddenly agitated. Paige ran off just to think? She could have told him! He wasted his time sitting there, wondering for her safety, her health, and she wanted to think??!!
"Spinner!!" Lisa's voice came back into his ear again. How long she had been calling his name, he didn't know.
"What?" he snapped at her, still mad about Paige.
"She saw Dean."
"Spinner?"
"Who is this?" he asked that afternoon.
