“Hey there Mr. Pratt. My name’s Kyle Warner. I write for the Chronicle, and

I’m doing a story on an artist named Mara Eldritch. I was wondering if I

could ask you a few questions?”

A long pause.

“Not interested,” Randall grunts, rustling the phone like he’s about to hang

up.

“Well, hang on!” I say. “Could ya at least confirm a quote I got from her

mother Tori Eldritch?”

Another pause, even longer.

I hear his heavy breath on the other end of the line.

“You talked to Tori?”

“That’s right.”

“In person, or over the phone?”

“I flew up to speak with her.”

“Flew where?”

Now it’s my turn to let a brief silence fall between us. Keeping my tone

cheerful, I say, “Well, we can discuss that in person. I need another source

for this article. Pay’s five hundred bucks, and it won’t take but a little of your

time.”

Breath. Breath. Heavy breath. Hot and wet in my ear.

“Alright,” Randall grunts. “I’m in La Crescenta. You can meet me at a pub

called The Black Dog.”

A smile spreads over my face where Randall can’t possibly see it.

“Perfect.”
