Hello?
You're alive.
Yeah, just about.
I've been worried sick. The police called to say they'd found the car on the ferry. Again!
I'm so sorry. I parked it, and then, and then I got off the boat.
What the hell were you doing on the mainland, anyway?
I drove to New York.
Why?
I needed to see John Maddox.
And where are you now?
I'm still at the ferry terminal. I missed the last crossing.
You really are bloody hopeless! I just had Adam on the phone, trying to get hold of you. He's flying back tonight. He sounds in a right state.
You didn't tell him about us, did you? God's sake, Ruth!
I've got to go. I'll call you back.
