Chapter 18: The Other Boss
Doyle stepped in front of Noelle without thinking about it.
The man by the Lincoln held up both hands, palms out, with a half-smoked cigarette still burning against his thumb.
"I'm not armed," he said. "Mr. Lowry will see you. Tonight."
"Who's Mr. Lowry?" Noelle said, and Doyle felt her shoulder against his back.
"Ray Lowry. The man Harlan wants dead."
The driver nodded, and his throat moved.
"Eleven years ago you took a man off the Ogden Street loading dock, three feet from where I stood. I never heard a sound."
"I've been afraid of you ever since," he said. "Just you, though. Mr. Lowry says you're the only Cavanagh worth sitting down with."
"I'm not a Cavanagh."
"He knows. He wants to hear it from you."
Doyle turned his head.
Noelle looked up at him with her face still pale and her hand pressed over the hair knot.
"Go," she said.
"Not alone."
"He said alone. I'll take this to Abel and sit on it with the shotgun. You go and hear him out."
