Chapter 46: Who Killed Doris? (F)

Whoever was on the phone answered.

“Matt…” Abigail said breathlessly with a huge smile. “You won’t believe it; I just saw Doris.” A pause. “Yes!” She said with her smile getting bigger. “Of course, she ran away from me, but if you could get Nick over here fast, he can find her before she packs up and go somewhere else.” Another pause. She hung up.

“Finally.” She muttered under her breath as she dialed another number. “Beatriz, I’m heading over to the airport now.” A short pause. “No, leave them cancelled. I know I’m coming back early but I’m not coming back to work, something came up.” An even shorter pause. “Yeah. I’m letting you know so you’ll have a car waiting for me.” She hung up and flagged down a cab.

The next thing I could see, she got to a hotel to change into a gown, befitting her status. Then she grabbed her suitcase and headed to the airport and boarded a flight back to Raliegh and to Dad. The vision cleared.
