Chapter 24: The Night Shift
"It's a key," I said.
"To the front door of the loft."
"I already have one."
"You have one from the contract."
"This one is different."
"It's the first key I ever cut for someone free to walk out with it."

It was bright and new, with the teeth just filed.
"A key means you can leave," I said.
"Yes."
"And come back."

I took it.
It was warm from his hand.
"I'm picking the next house," I said.
"Anything you want."
"Not the loft. Not a building with a still in it."
"I'll miss the still."
"You'll live."
He grinned, the real one, the one that took ten years off him.
I found it on a Tuesday, on my way home from the hospital.
It was a narrow brick house in Lakewood with a crooked porch.
A lemon tree in a pot sat by the door, with no business surviving a Cleveland winter.
It had three bedrooms, a kitchen with yellow tile, and a back step where a person could sit and drink tea.
