Chapter 16: Leverage
The story ran on Friday at nine in the morning, on a Chicago news site.
It used a photograph of Bram and me at the Art Institute.
The headline said CORWIN BRIDE LINKED TO UNSOLVED KILLING.
Bram read it standing in the kitchen with his coffee going cold.
"They have the print," he said. "They have the lab language, and they have my brother's file number."
"Torben."
"Torben, through a friend at the paper. He's tried the court and now he's trying the street."
"Which means he's scared."
"It means he thinks it's a good move."
Through the terrace door the lake was flat and gray.
Forty floors down, in the lobby, there were already cameras.
The doorman had called twice.
"We could go out the service elevator," Bram said.
"We could."
"But?"
"If I hide, they print what Torben wrote."
He set his coffee down.
"Then we go out the front, together. I'll do the talking."
