nI didnt expect a phone call to crack the bedrock of my life.How easy it is to forget we are all floating on molten lava...and tectonic shifts happen all the time...Carlos was the one who felt my phone vibrating; it was under one of the napkins wed used for our picnic lunch. I found it, and glancing quickly at the UNKNOWN on the caller ID, picked it up. While used to calls from unknown places, I was not used to calls from this guy.Sydney, how are you?I didnt recognize his voice right away. Rolling away from Carlos, I sat up. Im sorry, but I dont know who this is. It was when he laughed that I recognized him. Robert Maxim? He laughed again. Im glad you remember me. My heart would be broken if I could be so easily forgotten.I stood up, Carlos looked up at me, a question in his eyes. I shook my head and stepped away from our blanket. My dog, Blue, a huge wolf-like creature with one blue eye and one brown followed me, keeping at a heel. Forget you, Bobby Maxim? In order to do that Id need a lobotomy.With your penchant for revenge, I half expect to see you bursting through my closet doors some day, guns blazing.I laughed. Who says Im not in there right now?I know exactly where you are. Ive been keeping very good track of you.I looked around the park. Gentle green hills spotted with couples and groups of friends lounging on blankets dominated the landscape. On a field below me a soccer match was beginning to form. A woman ran by in a skin-tight suit, nothing on her jiggled.Are you here now?No, no. Im calling to ask a favor. Carlos waved, letting me know he was going to join the soccer game. I nodded back, forcing a smile onto my lips.Im not doing you any favors, I said to Robert. It seems youre not totally clear on the fact that you took something from me.Sydney, I dont understand this animosity. I was just doing you a favor.A favor! My raised voice attracted the attention of several groups of Londoners trying to enjoy their first day of sun. You bastard, I hissed quietly. I hope you rot in hell.Im sorry I didnt do it sooner, darling.Youre insane! I was yelling again. I took a deep breath. In through my nose, out through my mouth. Blue tapped his muzzle against my hip to let me know he was still there.Sydney, I didnt know what you two had planned. I would have killed Kurt long before you showed up. Remember, Im not the one who left my fingerprints behind; whose blood was spilled all over the floor. You
