Chapter 16: Wedding Morning
The cathedral was full by eight o'clock on the morning of the wedding.
There was no bride. Everyone came anyway.
I had told Gabriel to leave the date alone, and I had told the press where to stand.
Two hundred guests filled the pews in their good clothes. At the back, behind a rope, sat sixty reporters with their phones out.
Every one of them wanted to see what the CEO's sister would say.
Gabriel walked beside me down the side aisle in a black suit.
"Question," I said, low. "Are you afraid?"
"Yes."
"Of the vote?"
"Of the vote, no." He kept his eyes front. "Of what you're going to do to Trenton, and of how much I'll want to watch."
That was a true answer. I took it.
Then his phone buzzed in his pocket, and he stopped walking.
He read the screen twice.
"The hospital," he said. "Rosalind was discharged at six this morning."
"By whom?"
"A Lockwood Group order. It has an acting signature. It dismissed the guard on her door." His hand closed on the phone. "She's gone, Cami. Nobody can find her."
"Trenton signed it."
"He's the COO. He can sign anything for the next hour."
We looked at each other.
"Then we do it in the next hour," I said.
The vestry door stood at the end of the aisle, with two men in dark suits in front of it.
Gabriel pushed it open.
Nine directors sat around a long oak table, and Trenton was one of them. The board chairman was at the head, gray and heavy, with a gavel in his fist.
Trenton sat at his right hand.
