Chapter 28: The Price

"You'll wait in the car," Conall said, buttoning his coat over the sling.
"No."
"Brigid. These aren't trustees."
"You told me once that if you're in the room, it's about you." I picked up the red duffel from the basement stairs. "If I'm in the room, it's about everybody I've sewn up."

The kid stood against the wall by the door in a clean jacket, with his course textbook under his arm.
When we came in, every man at the table stood up.
