Chapter 17: The Offer

Joel kept Grayson's father on the line while I decided where to meet him.

"A diner," I said. "The one across from the bus station. Noon."

"He heard you," Joel said, and hung up.

"You don't have to come," I told him.

"I know."

At noon I chose a booth near the front window.

Grayson's father arrived in a dark overcoat with no briefcase.

I'd met him at campaign dinners, where he called me family in front of donors.

He sat down and ordered tea.

"I'm sorry about the theft report," he said.

"Did you tell your son to make it?"

"No. I told him to withdraw it."

"Then you can tell him to stop sending pictures."

"I came to discuss how we all get out of this."

The server brought my toast and his tea.

He waited until she moved away before taking a folded paper from his coat.
