The number two looked at Cillian.
Then he looked at the bottle of red polish in his hand, like he couldn't work out how it got there.
"Boss," he said.
Cillian didn't answer.
He just held out his hand.

The number two didn't answer.
"I'll guess," Lexie said. "My purse. Your back seat. The night you drove me to the ER."
His eyes went to the floor.
