Chapter 22: The Source
I read the line again.
Frances.
Bram woke up when I went stiff against him.
"What is it?"
I held the phone where he could see it.
He read the quote over my shoulder, and his arm went hard around my waist.
"Close to the couple for many years," he said.
"Everybody calls me Frankie," I said. "My father did. My crew does. Ellis does. The caseworker does."
"I know."
"One person in the world calls me Frances."
He didn't say her name.
He didn't have to.
I called Tilly's lawyer at seven.
"Can you prove who the family source is?" I said.
"Not before the hearing. Their expert won't name her. He'll say it's confidential." He sounded tired. "Ms. Mahan, I'd advise you not to do anything that fits the word volatile."
"I won't yell," I said. "I promise."
"That isn't what I said."
"I know," I said, and hung up.
At noon I put on the one good blazer I own.
Bram put on a collared shirt, which I'd never seen him wear.
