Chapter 13: Fisk's Confession
Nobody in Cairn Hall breathed.
Fisk sat with both hands on his silver cane and looked at the card on the table instead of at Jude.
"Say the rest of it," Jude said.
"A rider found the river bank below the Pass three days after the battle," Fisk said.
"There was a blood trail up the shallows and a stolen truck gone from the ford."
"The rider brought it to me, and I burned his report."
A sound went through the room.
"Why?" Jude said.
"The Council had already voted you the honors."
"Two hundred people had watched you do it."
"A dead enemy gave this sect its first quiet year in a generation.
"I did not want to be the man who took it away."
"Then a letter came."
Fisk reached under his coat and set a bundle of envelopes on the table, tied with kitchen string.
