Chapter 7

I went back in the office and killed time for about a half-hour. I figured that was long enough for Sherry to read the letter and look at all the evidence. I also figured that if I waited another half-hour, she'd be getting really nervous waiting to be contacted. Truth be told, I was a bit nervous as well.

At the end of an hour, I decided enough was enough, so I picked up the Trac-phone and hit redial. The phone only had time to ring once before Sherry picked up.

Pitching my voice as before I said "Is this Sherry Lewis?"

"Who are you, what do you want, why are you doing this to me?" she blurted out.

"You'll know who I am soon enough. I assume you'd had a chance to look through the information I sent you?"

"Yes. God if this gets out you'll destroy me!" she said shakily.

"Well then, I guess you'll just have to make sure that I don't let it get out, won't you?

"What... what do you want from me? I don't have much money."

"I don't want money, Sherry."

"Then what do you want? You didn't go to all this trouble just to frighten me."

"You're right about that" I said, "now, here's what you're going to do- write this down if you can't remember directions, because I'm only going to tell you this once. Do you know where the Barton's Landing McDonalds is?"
