Cody could hear Luigi's
phone ringing and ringing and he was afraid it would divert to
voicemail, when Luigi answered.
“Hello?” He never
said hello when he knew who was calling.
“Lou, it's Cody.
Please ….” Cody choked. “... please don't put the phone down.
I'm sorry to call you so late … but … Lou, I need help.
Please.”
“Go on,” said Luigi,
but his tone offered no encouragement.
“I was …. I was taken
by the Mount Macedon murderer … and I ….”
“I saw you! I saw you
Cody, getting into that little VW van. I knew I should have done
something.”
“Yes. I remember. He
drugged me, Lou, and kept me in the dark, and … and he ... he raped me …
oh God, Lou, what'm I to do?”
“Where are you?”
“At Mount Macedon.”
“Whose phone is this?”
“My rescuer.” Cody
turned to look at the other man, who looked embarrassed.
“Can I talk to him?”
