Chapter 9: Housewarming
I found him on the pier at midnight, at the end of the long dock behind the plant.
He was standing at the rail in his shirtsleeves with his back to the dinner and the whole warm house, looking out at the bay.
The tide was high, and the hurricane barrier lay across the harbor mouth.
He heard me coming from fifty feet.
He did not turn.
"Your grandmother says you were at the housewarming," I said.
"I wasn't," Duarte said.
"Your car was outside," I said.
"It was a different car," he said.
"You drive one car," I said.
He turned around then.
The light from the plant fell on half his face, and the other half stayed in the dark.
He looked at me, and I could see him decide to lie.
I have spent six years watching men lie to me about the weight of a tote.
It is always the same, a small stiffness along the jaw, a half second of cheer.
"I was at the plant," he said. "You can check the log."
"I can smell it on you."
