Chapter 20: The Vote
On Wednesday morning, four hundred shareholders filled the grand ballroom of the downtown hotel, and the air smelled of coffee and nerves.
Ingrid stood in the wings in a charcoal suit with her hair in its tightest twist.
"Fire crews held Block C," Cavan said beside her, low. "Nine containers are sealed in the yard. Three burned."
"And 1140?"
"Unburned. Locked. Eugene says Torsten's men are guarding it with the port police off the site."
"Then we have until tonight," she said. "Let's do this fast."
He straightened her lapel, which did not need it.
"You don't need me in there," he said.
"I want you where I can see you."
"Then I'll be in the back."
He walked down the side aisle to the last row and stood against the wall.
A shareholder in a blazer looked him up and down.
"Seat's taken," the man said.
"I'm standing."
"This section is for shareholders. Is that a tow truck jacket?"
"It's canvas."
The man snorted, turned his back, and went on whispering about the chairman's wife.
