Stopping Short: A Hot Baseball Romance - Plot & Excerpts
It had taken hours for the Image Masters librarian to scare up a number for Mickey’s—something about the bar being registered under a different name and all the employees being paid under the table. She was about to hang up and try again when a wheezy voice finally answered: “Mickey’s.” “May I please speak with Sarah Weston?” “Who’s asking?” Suspicion dripped down the phone line. Jessica had no doubt that she was speaking to Drew’s mother. “My name is Madison Winthrop. I’m calling from the Mutual Insurance Corporation to tell Ms. Weston about an annuity we’re holding in her name.” The aliases came easily; Jessica had used them before. She caught her breath, hoping greed would tip the balance in her favor. Lightning flashed in the distance and thunder was rolling ominously before Susan finally said, “I’m Sarah Weston. What type of annuity?” “Our policy-holder is a Mr. A. Marshall. He’s designated you as the beneficiary of a fund that pays out an annual sum of sixty thousand dollars.”
