    “Claire, I really did it this time. I need you!” “Sit tight for a second, I’ll be right back.” Sitting was just about all she could manage at this point. Like a drifting detached iceberg Chuck bumped his way back into the bedroom to find that Karla had disappeared. Karla first heard his clumsy footsteps. Then she could faintly hear him mutter, “Women! What a fucking circus.” Then she heard him try the bathroom door. It was panic all over again. All this adrenalin was helping to restore her alertness a little bit, but it wasn’t helping with her judgment. I’m sure he knows I saw the drugs! What’ll he do to me. “Karla, are you okay?” He sounded calm enough. “I don’t know,” she replied. “Maybe it was the shrimp. Seafood doesn’t always agree with me. Maybe I just better get home.” “Look,” he said, “This is turning out to be the storm of storms. Someone just brought me a message, and there are some things I need to take care of immediately.” This instantly unleashed her anger and restored her confidence a little. Fucking bastard! I bet you do!’ She was flopping around from one moment to the next. “I’ll arrange for a driver to take you home and also I’ll have a concierge come up to help you out.” “Oh, thank you Chuck, you’re such a sweetheart.” The combination of relief and forcing herself to say that to him upended her stomach and caused her to send her puke across the floor.

I had a bit too much champagne, but he slipped something else into it. I felt paralyzed. He just left. I was just so scared. I didn’t know what he was going to do! But then I puked and now its all over me.” “All right, slow down. Look, everybody probably knows that you’re there with him. You stand out when you’re not even trying. And if I know you, you where probably glowing in the dark. He’s not stupid, you know, and he wouldn’t go that far. Plus you’re the only person I know that could OD on an Alka-Seltzer. Whatever it was, it can’t be that bad.” “Yeah, I suppose you’re right.” “Look, Matthew just left. Give me a few minutes and I’ll get dressed and come right over.” “Matthew!” Karla practically screamed. “You mean he has a name! And you have to get dressed?!” “I thought you were in some kind of a crisis there.” Claire said with just a trace of annoyance.
