Chapter 15: The Duffel

Dean came straight to my counter and set the duffel on the marble.

It landed with a heavy slap, and the bus tour looked over.

"Lace," he said. "Don't say anything yet."

"Good morning, Mr. Novachek. Do you have a reservation?"

"I'm here to pay you back."

He unzipped the bag with shaking hands.

It was full of banded cash, hundred-dollar bills in paper straps, stacked.

"Twenty-three thousand," he said. "It's all I have left that isn't spent."

"All you have left," I repeated.

"The rest went to the watch and the casino, okay? Nine thousand two hundred. I'll get you that too."

"Say it louder."

"What?"

"Say what the money is," I said. "I'd like the people in my lobby to hear you."

He looked behind him.

A bellhop had stopped his cart.

Two housekeepers stood at the end of the desk with their arms crossed.

On the mezzanine above the lobby, a woman in black silk and pearls stepped out of the elevator.
