Rhonda leaned back against the phone booth glass, waiting impatiently to be transferred or even acknowledged. Finally, a female voice came back on the phone line, only to inform her that Lee Stetson was not in the office.
"Well, can you leave him a message?"
"Go ahead," the detached voice told her.
"Let him know that it's Rhonda and that the word is, TSK is causing them to drop. I didn't hear what or who, yet. If I hear anything more, I'll let him know."
"Got it. Anything else?"
"No, no, just please make sure that he gets it as soon as he comes back in."
"Mr. Stetson checks his messages regularly," the voice told her.
"Yeah, yeah. Thanks."
Rhonda hung up the phone and looked out the booth glass onto the busy street. There was something about all of this that wasn't sitting very well with her. Sure, she was no agent, but she'd heard enough from the Russians over the past few years to know when they thought they had something big over the Americans.
"Damn," she muttered. "I just know this is gonna suck, big time. The only problem is, I don't know what it is."
She left the phone booth and headed back to where her dark green Pinto was parked. Hopefully, Scarecrow would be able to put the pieces of the puzzle together. If not, Rhonda had the distinct impression that there were a lot of people in some very big trouble.
