Chapter 32: Taillights

"No," I said.

"Gen."

"No. He wrote it down. Don't let him. I've got it in my pocket in green ink."

"I know what he wrote."

"You read it?"

"No." He shifted the coat on his shoulder. "But I knew him."

I took the letter out and held it up anyway.

"Kendrick will give everything away if you let him," I read. "His boat and his money and his father's half."

"And he'll walk off before you can thank him."

I put it away.

"That's what you're doing," I said. "Right now. In this room."

"There's nothing left in this room to give away."

"There's you."

He didn't answer that.

He looked at the pale squares on the wall where his pictures had been.

"Stay," I said. "You can have the company back. Run it with me. Your name's still on the building."

"Half of it."

"Then take half."

"I sold my half," he said. "On Tuesday. To the banker. You were there."

"Then I'll give you a job."

He almost smiled.

"Doing what?"

"Whatever you want. CEO. Carrying trays. I don't care."
