Chapter 15: Shareholders
I did not wait to see what the men would do.
I flipped every switch behind the counter.
The grill hood, the pie case, the marquee, the neon, and the floodlight over the alley door all came on at once.
The whole block lit up.
Then I propped the front door open and shouted, loud enough for the third floor across the street.
"Is anybody seeing this?"
Somebody was.
A window opened above the laundromat.
Another opened beside it.
By the time the men reached the curb, a man in a bathrobe was filming from a fire escape.
The mailman was crossing the street with his terrier and a flashlight.
"Evening," the mailman said, as if they had asked.
The first man stopped.
"We're here for Mr. Draycott's guest."
"Mr. Draycott is home," Roark said from behind me. "You can tell my uncle that."
"He wants a word."
"Then he can come and ask me in the light."
The men looked at the windows.
They looked at the phones.
