Under the Shadow of His Wings

"Hi, this is Ruth Colon. May I please speak to Mack?"

"Mack speaking, how can I help you, Mrs. Colon?"

"I'm calling regarding my ex-husband Lonnie Colon; I just got a call from one of his co-workers to tell me Lonnie was in an accident and rushed to The Tremont Hospital."

"Mrs. Colon, your ex-husband doesn't work here any more; he was fired about six months ago; as a matter of fact, we had to call the police to escort him out of here and get a court order to keep him off the premises! Mrs. Colon, I don't know you, but I've heard some nice things about you from some of the guys here that know Lonnie personally. Look, I'm not trying to get in your business; anybody that knows me will tell you I am not one to get involved in my employee's personal life. As long as my employees are doing their job, I stay out of their business, but just hearing your voice, I feel obligated to tell you this, you need to get as far away from Lonnie as possible. He has some serious mental issues! Your ex-husband is a very dangerous man and is not to be trusted; if I were you, I would never be left alone with him. When Ruth hung up from Mack, a feeling of dread swept over her.
