Chief Bill Vickery
Frank Curry is Camille’s newspaper boss in Chicago. Frank refers to Camille both lovingly and teasingly as “cubby,” as she is his favorite cub reporter. He teases Camille for being an underachiever, but at the same time truly wants to encourage her to do her best work and discover her voice. Frank and his wife Eileen are not just artistically but emotionally supportive of Camille throughout her harrowing trip with Wind Gap, and it is the two of them she calls when she is in trouble.

Quotes
“I know who did it, Curry,” I hissed. “I know it.”
“Well, that’s no reason to cry, Cubby. The police made an arrest?”
“Not yet. I know who did it.” Thunk on the dartboard.
“Who? Camille, talk to me.”
I pressed the phone to my mouth and whispered, “My mother.”
“Who? Camille, you have to speak up. Are you at a bar?”
“My mother did it,” I yelped into the phone, the words coming out like a splatter. Silence for too long.
“Camille, you are under a lot of stress, and I was very wrong to send you down there so soon after . . . Now, I want you to go to the nearest airport and fly back here. Don’t get your clothes, just leave your car and come home here. We’ll deal with all that stuff later. Charge the ticket, I’ll pay you back when you get home. But you need to come home now.”
Home home home, like he was trying to hypnotize me.
“I’ll never have a home,” I whimpered, began sobbing again. “I have to go take care of this, Curry.” I hung up as he was ordering me not to.
