Chapter 16: Dale's Ledger
We took the box to the kitchen table, because Eli was upstairs and I wanted a floor between him and whatever was in it.
Cade lifted the lid.
It was full of pink message slips, hundreds of them, held in bundles with rubber bands gone brittle.
Each slip had a date, a time, and a name in a secretary's neat hand.
"Dale's assistant kept a copy of everything," Amos said. "Dale kept the copies."
Cade pulled out a bundle and fanned it.
His own name sat on every slip, over and over.
A sponsor in March.
A tire company in April.
A woman who sold him a house, a reporter, a mechanic who wanted a letter of reference.
At the bottom of the third stack he stopped.
He didn't say anything.
He turned the slip around and slid it across the table to me.
The date was March 14, six and a half years ago.
The time was 11:42 in the morning.
The message said, "Mara T. called from Statesville Women's Hospital. Says she needs to tell Cade something important. Please call back. She left a number."
