Schultz had called her. Had Ann
betrayed her? Was she in on It? It

woman told her she herself had
faxed the phone call.
Rosalie fought for self-control and

Please tell me what they are going

again.

man assured her. IF you do a. we
tell you. They're Just takin' him
away for a little jack

She sobbed brokenly for a few
minutes and they sat and waited.
When she sat up weakly and wiped
her eyes-exhausted-the two felt
