Only to pick it up again. Just make the call. Detective MacIntosh answered on the second ring, her voice crisp and even. “Yes?” “It’s Susan Reichert.” “I saw the number…what can I do for you?” The tone was professional and cool. Let’s see, how should she apologize for her brother trying to kill the woman on the other end of the line? On the other hand, the detective had shot him and put him in intensive care, so surely they were a little bit even. “I wanted to…talk.” “Of course. On the phone or face to face?” That was a nice neutral answer. She relaxed a fraction, easing the ache in her shoulders. “On the phone is fine. I have two questions. The first one is how is Rose? I’m not family, so no one will tell me anything, and understandably, I have not approached her father or mother. I have really no idea what I would say to them.” “She’s fine.” Detective MacIntosh paused. “I don’t really think they blame you. I believe they are sorry for your loss and grateful you called the police when you did.
