Chapter 19: The Guarantor
"Opal," I said. "I need my shoes."
"You need soup."
"I need my shoes and Lacey's phone number."
Opal looked at me over her reading glasses for a long time.
Then she put down her knitting and got my shoes.
Lacey pulled up at the green door twenty minutes later in her old red hatchback, in pajama pants and a leather jacket.
"I was asleep," she said. "I want that on the record."
"Thank you."
"Where are we going?"
"Downtown. The glass tower on the river."
"Oh, good," said Lacey. "Breaking and entering. On a Sunday."
The middle one and the runt got into the back seat without being asked.
The big one stayed with Opal. He was still limping.
I followed the thread the whole way, with my hand pressed under my ribs.
It pulled tighter every block.
The tower's lobby was all white marble and one bored night guard.
He looked up when I walked in with blood still crusted in one ear and two hellhounds behind me.
"Ms. Kimball," he said, like he'd been told my name. "Mr. Greaves is expecting you. Top floor."
"Of course he is," said Lacey.
"Only Ms. Kimball, ma'am."
"Watch me," said Lacey, and walked into the elevator anyway.
