“This is Lois Spence,” the woman said.
“Hello,” I said, wondering what she wanted. I had forgotten about her.

Remember him? He’s right by my side. We’re coming after you, Cain. We’ll find you wherever you are. You and your floozie, and we’ll fix you both.”

“Who was it?” Clair called.
“A wrong number,” I said, and went back to the bedroom.
