Chapter 42
She let it ring.
“Alice Lovisa Olsen ... if you don’t answer that ... I’m flying home alone!”
“Hello.”
“Yes mom.”
“Yes mom.”
“Yes mom.”
“Before school starts. Yes mom.” She offered me her phone. “She would like to speak to you.”
“Mrs. Olsen?”
“Yes Ma’am ... before school starts.”
“That won’t be necessary.”
“If you insist.”
I turned to the Dean, “The Olsens wish to open a bank account for Alice. Where?”
The Dean held out his hand. I placed Alice’s phone in it.
He held it to his ear ... for just a second ... and dropped it. I caught it. I am used to other peoples reaction when dealing with the Olsen money.
“Your parents will transfer a hefty sum after you open an account.” He gulped. “I personally use the university credit union ... let me make a call.”
On the desk phone, he dialed. “James ... Huey. I know you’re closed ... I need you to open for a student. Now.”
“You’ll regret it the rest of your life.”
He whispered into the phone.
“Yes.”
“On his way.” That was to Mrs. Olsen ... and Alice ... and me.
And of course I asked, “Where?”
“North on Speedway ... about two pitches.”
“The gym.”
“Walk, bike or run, Alice.”
“RUN!” And the wench was out the door.
It was interesting ... and kinda fun. We were at the Gym waay before the Dean and he was waay before James ... whoever James was.
