Chapter 20: Crowe's Table

Crowe sent the invitation by courier at noon, on cream card.

It said: A public dinner of friendship, tonight at eight.

It said the city should see there were no hard feelings.

"He's smiling in front of a camera," I said. "After Lakeside, he needs the city to forget."

"And he needs me where he can see me," said Jude.

"Do we go?"

"The detective says yes."

She had said much more than that.

She had sat at the long table in the loft with a map and a hungry look.

She told us exactly where her people would be.

Two in the kitchen, in aprons.

Four across the street.

One in the coat check.

She needed one more thing, and it was a bad thing, and she asked it kindly.

"I need Crowe to say something in front of a witness who isn't you," she said to me. "Something I can use."

"I can do that," I said.

"You'll be at his table."

"I've been at his table. It's the worst food in Cleveland."

She laughed, and Jude didn't.

At eight o'clock, Ollie parked in front of the neon cow.
