Chapter 20: What They Took
"Ask them," I said to my father. "They're standing right there."
He did not ask.
He turned to the chair and said, in the same small voice, "Call the board for ten o'clock."
By ten the next morning, the whole of Markham Biologics knew.
Three hundred employees stood on the mezzanine in the glass lobby with their coffee, watching the boardroom doors.
Inside, twelve directors sat around the walnut table, with the chair at the head and my father at her left.
I took the chair at my father's right hand, the one Cameron had always held.
Jericho stood at the back of the room by the wall, with his arms folded and his jacket on my chair.
Cameron came in at five past, in a new navy suit, with a lawyer I had never seen.
He had shaved, and combed his side part, and he had found the smile again overnight.
Daphne came in behind him, in grey, with her hands knotted and her eyes swollen shut.
My stepmother followed and sat at the far end, in pearls, looking at the table.
"Thank you for coming," the chair said. "Mr. Fairweather, you have the floor."
