Chapter 23: Homecoming
Homecoming night, the quad held more people than it had held in forty years.
Alumni in lion sweatshirts stood three deep behind the students.
The headmistress sat in a folding chair at the side of the stage with her arms crossed.
Dax had built the biggest Vott stage yet, with a black curtain forty feet wide and a gold banner overhead.
THE TRIAL OF CLARK ELLERY.
Under it, on a steel stool, sat an empty chair for the accused.
Clark looked at it for a moment, then walked up the steps and sat down.
I went up with him.
"This is a man's trial," Dax said into his headset, smiling at the cameras. "Not a girl's. Sit down, Cecelia."
"I'm his witness."
"Fine. One minute."
At the side of the crowd, a woman in a long camel coat stood by herself.
Her hands were in her pockets, and she had no phone out.
I had seen her once before, at the barn, arriving in a car with a driver.
She was Vott's money.
Rhett had told me that much that morning.
"The charge is fraud," Dax announced.
