Chapter 26: Live

The host walked out into the lights.

Maybe he had.

"Good evening, America, and welcome to a very special night on The Chair," he said. "For the first time in twenty-two seasons, we are coming to you live. One game. One champion. One challenger. One million dollars."

The audience screamed.

Three hundred people, and it sounded like three thousand.

"Our champion has won forty-two straight games," the host said. "He's a harbor tug captain from Long Beach, California. Gannon Boyle!"

Gannon walked out to his podium.

The back rows went insane.

That was his crew, all eight of them, in matching navy T-shirts that said BOYLE on the front.

"And his challenger." The host turned. "She came within two hundred dollars of ending that streak. She's a bartender from Glendale. Tilda Dolan!"

I walked out in the green dress.

The roar started in the back rows too, and I knew exactly who it was.

The mailman. The nurses. The sports guy. Marva, standing on her seat in her good blouse, her glasses swinging on their chain.
