Chatterjee leaped to his feet and darted close. Carla and Baldacci were smiling at one another. \u003cbr\u003e Chatterjee said, \"Is Vonda the detective?\" \u003cbr\u003e Carla said, \"Detective Golczewski of the Philadelphia Police.\" \u003cbr\u003e Baldacci said, \"What did you do, Bergeron?\" \u003cbr\u003e People often asked him that. It was totally uncalled for. Most of the time.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Hello, Vonda? How are you this lovely summer day?\" Vonda, or someone, expelled a deep breath. \"Vonda?\" \u003cbr\u003e Vonda said, \"So you aren't dead.\" \u003cbr\u003e \"Excuse me? I am the picture of health. Wait. What do you know? You have to tell me....\" \u003cbr\u003e \"Shut up, Bergeron. I can't talk now. Are you at work?\" \u003cbr\u003e \"Of course....\" \u003cbr\u003e \"Good. Stay there. Do not move without calling me first.\" \u003cbr\u003e Carla, Baldacci, and Chatterjee, who wanted to be called Dhruva, pulled their collective heads back like wide-eyed turtles. \u003cbr\u003e Baldacci said, \"Shit, Gabe.\" \u003cbr\u003e Carla said, \"Why did she think you might be dead?\" \u003cbr\u003e \"No idea.\" He really couldn't imagine. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e He was still pondering that when she called back. \u003cbr\u003e Baldacci said, \"It's Vonda \" \u003cbr\u003e \"I can see that.\" \u003cbr\u003e Dhruva smiled. \"We need popcorn.\" \u003cbr\u003e He may have made several obscene hand gestures directed at young Dhruva before he answered the call. \u003cbr\u003e \"Yes, Vonda?\" \u003cbr\u003e \"Get here, Bergeron \" \u003cbr\u003e He took another breath. \"Where exactly?\" \u003cbr\u003e She gave him an address in Port Richmond. \u003cbr\u003e \"And why do you need me there?\" \u003cbr\u003e \"Because they called me in on my day off.\" And she was gone. \u003cbr\u003e Which didn't explain anything really, but she was a homicide detective so he probably wasn't in for a festive afternoon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e M.
