Chapter 21: Suspended
"Suspended," I said.
"With pay," the HR woman said quickly. "Pending review. Monday at ten."
"I just got four men out from under a tower."
"Nobody's questioning your work."
"You're questioning my work. You're questioning who I dispatch."
The manager looked miserable.
"Andie. Is it true? You and Hadwin?"
I could have lied.
I'd watched Reece lie for seven years, and I knew exactly how it was done.
"Yes," I said. "Since March. I should have told you. I'm telling you now."
The manager closed his eyes.
"Okay. Monday."
I took my headset off.
I walked out past the wall of screens, and nobody on the night desk would look at me, because they all knew.
Morgan was in the parking lot.
He was leaning on his green truck at seven in the morning with a cane from the urgent care and a black-and-blue knee.
"I heard," he said.
"How? I found out twelve minutes ago."
"The day dispatcher. She heard it from HR. The lieutenant heard it from her."
"The whole utility runs on gossip."
"The whole utility runs on you."
He held out his arms.
