Chapter 22: The Sixty-First Floor
Keaton Capital took up the top four floors of a glass tower on Wacker Drive.
The boardroom was on the sixty-first.
Eleven directors sat around a table the length of a tennis court. Behind them, the screen at the far end held my father's photographs.
A stack of cash in a navy bank bag. A hand with a gold signet ring, passing it.
A man with a neck tattoo, taking it.
Someone had circled the Granger Aviation logo on the bag in red.
Graham Keaton sat at the head of the table in a gray suit.
He didn't stand when we came in.
"Mr. Keaton," I said.
"Sit."
Mitch moved to the chair beside mine, and Graham's eyes flicked to the empty seat across from him.
"Mitch, over here," Graham said.
"I'm staying with my wife."
"You're not married yet."
"Then my fiancée," Mitch said.
A man at the other end of the table cleared his throat.
"Graham, I think what the board needs to understand," he began, "is that these images came from Mr. Granger's counsel. They're quite specific. One of our largest clients is being investigated for tampering. Our name is on the loan."
