Chapter 28: The Stranger's Wife
Ilya's POV
I made two coffees before I was awake enough to stop myself.
One black, for me.
The other I'd filled with milk and one sugar, and I stood at the machine looking at it.
I'd never put milk in a cup in my life.
My hands had done it without asking me.
I poured it down the sink.
The doctors said my head would heal and my lung would heal.
They didn't say what to do about my hands.
By nine my youngest brigadier was in my office with his phone held out.
"Yesterday," he said. "Eleven in the morning."
The photos were from across Broadway, taken through a car window.
One showed the green door of Seamus Conlon's pub.
The next showed the Italian's wife coming out of it, alone, with her hand still on the brass.
"The shooter was Conlon's," he said. "He knew her name. Now she walks into Conlon's place the day after you come home."
I looked at the photo a long time.
"She went alone?"
"Alone. Thirty minutes."
"Who told her about the pub?"
He shrugged.
