Hanging up the phone, she held it in such a way as to be studying it. She then dialed another number, a number that began with the area code 212. After a few rings, a male voice answered, "It's your dime."
"Brian, it's Jinny. I need a favor."
"Hey, Jinny, you know you still owe me for the last one." The tone of his voice was teasing, "What is it this time?"
"Brian, I'm going to read you off a phone number. I need you to call it and stay on the line until you get some info, then call me back. Oh, and if you are feeling especially frisky, feel free to dig a little deeper."
"What's going on?" Now sounding a little concerned.
"I'll explain later. Right now I'm in a small town in Texas called Driftwood. Check the news and any other sources you can, perhaps you can fill me in on what's going on."
"Sure, it's not like I have a job or anything."
"I'm sure Greg will understand."
"Okay, ready."
Jinny then read off the phone number to her friend.
After that, she gave him a warning, "Watch your back, online and off."
"You too."
With that they hung up and she placed her phone back in her bag and went back to the receptionist.
"Sorry to bother you, but is there anyway to know how long it will be before I can see a doctor?"
