Chapter 13: Not Today

Nobody in the Fatima hall made a sound.

Four hundred people looked at me, and then at the man in the black suit, and then at me again.

I had said it loud, and it had gone to the back wall and come back.

Duarte did not move.

He stood at the side of the dais with his hands behind him.

The rope marks showed at his cuffs, and he waited to be sentenced.

"Say it again," the chair said sharply. "The mate has not been recognized to speak on the matter of."

"I'm not talking to you," I said.

I did not take my eyes off Duarte.

"Two years," I said. "I ate at your grandmother's table two Harvests running with your brother's hand on my knee."

I took a breath.

"You were across town with the lights off."

"Yes," Duarte said.

"I thought you despised me," I said.

"No," he said.

"I thought there was something wrong with me, that a man like you wouldn't look."

"Zia," he said.

"Don't use my name," I said. "You gave up that right in front of a hall of people two minutes ago."

It came out cold and level, and I heard it like someone else's voice.
