Chapter 24: Sixty More
"Sixty more," Cooper said, and he dropped the lab sheet on Jonas Brannen's desk.
Jonas did not touch it.
He sat behind the desk in his shirtsleeves with a pecan invoice in one hand and a gold band on the other.
He looked at Cooper instead.
"You're supposed to be at the shop, Mr. Teasley."
"I closed early. Ask the boys," Cooper said.
"Both of them?"
"They were very loud about it."
The packing house hummed under their feet.
It was October again, the same office, the same glass wall over the floor, and the same cedar smell on the man behind the desk.
Cooper had dressed up for this.
He wore the white shirt from the VFW dance, pressed, with the sleeves rolled to the elbow.
There was grease under his fingernails that he hadn't been able to scrub out.
"Read it," he said.
Jonas set the invoice down and picked up the paper.
It was one page, folded in thirds.
He read it slowly, the way he had read the other one, and the muscle in his jaw went hard.
Then, for the first time, it did not stay that way.
