Chapter 15: The Fourth Shoe

The board secretary's office was on the fourth floor, behind a door that Geoffrey opened with his own key.

"My name, my key, my father's building," he said. "If anyone asks, I sent you."

He took the secretary to a conference room with a coffee tray and a long question about tour insurance.

I had four minutes.

The locked drawer under the window gave way to two dancer's hairpins and a steady wrist.

Inside was a thin blue folder marked Closed Session, Thursday.

I read it standing up.

The first item was a vote to accept the audit of the tour accounts, with the auditor's name left blank.

The second was a short line.

Replacement soloist for Giselle, if required: L. Garnier.

If required.

Victor was already counting on a vacancy.

The third page was Victor's own calendar for the week.

Wednesday, eleven at night, Marlowe fly gallery, one entry, one initial.

R.

I took out my phone and photographed every page.

Then I put the folder back, locked the drawer and walked down four flights of stairs with my heart in my throat.

I did not run.

Dancers do not run in a hallway, because people look.
