Chapter 18: The Chairman
For one second, four hundred people looked at my husband, and nobody breathed.
Two state troopers who had been guarding the television trucks started pushing through the crowd.
Dominic did not run.
He took his hands out of his pockets, held them up where everyone could see, and walked toward the stage.
The crowd parted for him in a long, silent aisle.
He didn't speak, and he didn't hurry.
Soot was still in the creases of his knuckles, and a bandage showed under his cuff.
"Search him," I said into the foreman's microphone.
The troopers reached him at the foot of the steps, and one of them patted him down from his shoulders to his ankles.
"Nothing," the trooper said, looking at me.
"He's clean, ma'am."
"My husband spent last night in a burning shed in Cicero," I said.
"He went in after them with nobody ordering him to."
"Ask the firefighters who pulled up behind him."
