I said to Simone. “Would you like us to pick you up?”“Yes, but what about Ned? He’ll find me here tonight.”“There’s a cop outside your door. I’ll tell the nurses at the front counter to keep your room number a secret and to call the police if he shows up. Do you have a picture of Ned?” She nodded. “In my purse. There’s a little photo holder. I wanted to throw his picture away, but I thought he would be enraged if he ever noticed.”Street said, “Ned looks into your private places?”“I have no private places. Ned always looks everywhere.”We got the photo, said goodbye, and left. “Any chance you can stay the night?” I said to the cop.He shook his head. “But I can get Greg to stop by.”“Mallory won’t mind?”“No different than checking bank windows at night.”“Thanks.”We left Ned’s picture at the nursing counter and explained that if he showed up, they should call the police. I also requested that they not release Simone’s room number to anyone.
