Big Sick Heart: A Detectives Seagate And Miner Mystery - Plot & Excerpts
“Hello, yes, my name is Karen Seagate. I wanted to inquire about the status of one of your patients, Annie Pritchard.” I heard the nurse talking with someone in the background. The voices were muffled, as if the nurse had her palm over the mouthpiece. “I’m sorry. Mrs. Pritchard has asked that information about her daughter not be made available. I hope you understand.” Yes, I understood. “Thank you,” I said, pushing the Off button on my phone. If I were the girl’s mother, I thought, I wouldn’t want to have anything to do with me, either. All I wanted was to learn the girl was getting better, so I wouldn’t have to worry about her dying. But I realized it was a little late to be thinking about the girl’s welfare. A better time would have been before I got in the car drunk, or right before I ran the stop sign. Yes, I understood. My hands shook as I looked at the glass of Jack Daniel’s in my hand, the glass I wasn’t going to pour because I wasn’t ever going to drink again.
