Phone call
Who: Dante Mazetti and ex-wife Elisabeth (NPC)
When: Friday night, about 11 PM.
The phone rings five or six times before Dante answers, holding back a yawn. "Yeah, Agent Mazetti."
"Dante! It's me, I'm so s– did I wake you?"
"Liz?" He's a little more alert now. "Nah. Nah, it's fine. What's up?"
"Well, I... need a favor. Gisella's class is taking a day trip to Boston tomorrow, and I signed up to be one of the chaperones, but my dad – you know how he's been in the hospital?"
"Uh huh?"
"Well, he took a turn for the worse tonight. Ma wants me out there as soon as possible, just in case. So. I hate to be blunt, but there's no way you could take my place as a chaperone, is there?"
Dante doesn't say anything for a minute, then sighs. "I wish there was. We're working this case right now, Liz. One of the ones you can't just walk away from." A pause. "You know I would if I could."
"Yeah." She has the grace not to sound too disappointed. "I know. Still, it was worth a shot, right?" She laughs softly, a little sadly.
"Yeah. Fifty-fifty, just like always. I'll hold a thought for your father, okay? And have fun tomorrow, both of you."
"We will. Take care, Dante."
"You, too." A pause, and they both hang up.
