Callie brought him the phone. “After your call, you should get some sleep.”
“Have you got the phone number for the Breakers Hotel?” he asked.
She took the phone, dialed the number for him, handed the phone back and walked back toward the front of the airplane.
“The Breakers,” an operator said.
“Please connect me with Mrs. Vance Calder,” Stone said.
“One moment.” The phone began ringing.
“Hello,” a sleepy voice said.
Stone thought for a second, then pressed the off button on the phone.
Dino stirred and turned toward Stone. “Who was that?” he asked.
“Good question,” Stone said.
“Why did you hang up?”
“Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do?”
“When?”
“When a man answers.”
