INSOMNIAC: ALAN SMITH #2 (Alan Smith series) (50 page)

‘Man I’m not interested in all these’ grunted Alan.

‘No you will have to go. You are leading the Homicide department so of course you will have to attend it. Henderson said it’s becoming tough to control the press without you. Kevin is also there, so you should go and join them’

‘Hell...’ Alan murmured lazily.

‘But where are you going now?’ asked Alicia.

‘Oh right, I gotta go. Have a marriage party to attend’ said Ryan.

‘Your marriage?’ asked Alicia.

‘Of course not. My sister’s’

‘Oh, I see. Give my best wishes to her’

‘Will do’ said Ryan as he headed for the elevator mumbling to himself. ‘Why is everyone so bloody obsessed with my marriage?’

But before he could enter the elevator, the landline phone in his table rang as Alan called out ‘Ryan, you might wanna receive your call before you leave’

‘Oh, man now what!’ Ryan came back in the room irritated with everything. Picked up the receiver and held it in his ear.

‘Raglan’ he said then within a minute suddenly his face changed, it became more prudent. ‘What?...How is that even possible...ok ok, alright’ he put the receiver down heavily and looked at Alan and Alicia.

Alan sensed something and said ‘Umm...is there a problem?’

Ryan only managed to say ‘It was the security guy from downstairs. Donovan’s cell is empty. He escaped!’
