Author's Note: I wanted to remove a free things from Anonymous51's version in order to continue it. It was very good, but very specific in some areas I wanted to leave open to expand into.
"I saw your wife," Michelle said into the cellphone. "She's at a hotel. Do you know what she's doing?"
Suddenly a hand grabbed the phone away from her and cut the connection.
"Hey, I was using that," Michelle snapped at the woman who took her phone.
"No calling allowed," the woman said sternly. She then pointed to a sign on the wall, which displayed a number of rules concerning the retreat. "See? It's number two on the list." The woman put Michelle's phone in her pocket.
"That's mine. You can't take it."
She separated the battery from the phone and handed it to Michelle. "You aren't a child. But respect the rules. I'll be watching you." Then the woman turned around and disappeared into the crowd of people. Michelle didn't like other people telling her what she could and couldn't do.
"Hello?" Richard asked into the phone. "Is anyone there?" But no one was. The line was dead.
He didn't recognize the woman's voice, but the call was very distorted. She said something about his wife being at a hotel. He started to become angry, as the first thing that popped into his mind was his wife having an affair with some other guy. Susan was a sexy woman and she liked to flaunt it. But he hoped that she would never use it to seduce another man. Apparently, she had.
There weren't many women who would call him to tell him about his wife, and she didn't give him the name of the hotel, but at least it was something to go on...for finding the caller and Susan.
