“What do you think that phone call was about?” Jeanne asked, airily.
“It was Chloe,” Gene said. “She only calls when it’s really important.”
“Yeah,” she sighed. “I guess we’re going to have surprise evaluations tomorrow.”
“They wouldn’t do that on a Friday,” Gene said. “Doctor Katherine said she’d never have evaluations on Friday.”
“Well, maybe she’s gonna be busy on Saturday,” Jeanne said. “Maybe she’s sick.”
“If she was sick,” he said, “she’d make us come in on Monday. No, this is different. I don’t think it’s about us.”
“Well, then, who could it be about?” Jeanne said, turning to look at him. “Maybe Phillip got another promotion?”
“No, that’s not it, either,” Gene said. “I don’t know. It’s just really hard to figure it out right now.”
“You don’t think he’s getting better at hiding stuff, do you?” Jeanne asked.
“No way,” Gene replied. “I saw every card today.”
“Me too.” Jeanne grinned. “I love Clue.”
“It’s too easy,” Gene sighed. “Anyway. I think we know something’s up.”
“Yeah,” Jeanne said, “but this doesn’t make much sense. Hey, what if Chloe called just to talk?”
“What, to Phillip? Maybe,” Gene said. “Maybe she wanted to talk to us. I feel bad we missed her.”
“We’ll see her soon,” Jeanne sighed. “You think we should tell her about Rob then?”
