"No, this is Sister Agnes. Sister Margaret Mary isn't available at the moment. Can I help you?"
"Oh, hi, Sister. This is Maggie's cousin. I was just calling about Uncle Mike."
"Not bad news, I hope."
"Well, it isn't good. Do you know when she'll be back?"
"She's working in the soup kitchen in the basement of the church. She'll be there until after the midday meal. I can give you the number if you want to call over there."
"No, no, that's okay. Don't even tell her I called. You know how she is. She'll just worry. I'll catch her later."
Richie Cordova hung up the phone.
"Yessiree," he said. "Catch her later."
