Chapter 41: The Deal

Shona's POV

The car behind us leaned on its horn again.

"Drive," I said.

He drove.

I took my wrist back and leaned between the seats with my phone light.

I shone it in his eyes, one and then the other, while he took the corner.

"Look at me."

"I'm driving."

"Look at me for one second."

He looked.

Both pupils came down the same size.

"There's blood in your hair," I said. "You hit a step with the one place on your head I told you to protect."

"I know."

"You don't get to say I know to me today."

We left the man with the hole in his thigh at my own ambulance bay, with a nurse I'd trained running out to meet him.

Then Ilya drove us home, down into the garage under our building, and turned the engine off.

He didn't get out.

Neither did I.

The garage was grey and quiet and smelled of oil.

"Tell me," I said. "All of it. Once."

He put both hands on the wheel.

"Seamus Conlon has been giving the FBI his own men for twenty years," he said.

"His friends. His rivals. Boys who carried his money. Every few years he hands them one, and they let him keep the rest."

"Six years ago a lawyer brought me one page of his file. Names and dates. I learned it by heart and burned it."
