The sound of sobbing came over the line and a hurried mumble that was impossible to understand.
“Lizanne, I can’t hear what you’re saying. What’s wrong?” I asked.
She spoke in a hoarse whisper, “Ned, you’ve got to come to the old church right now! It’s Daisy. She’s got me tied up. She’s going to kill me and burn down the church. I managed to rub my gag off and get my phone out of my pocket. She just stepped out to bring in a can of gasoline. Hurry, Ned. Don’t tell Cade. She’ll kill me quick if she sees a lawman. Hurry. Hurry.”
