Chapter 15: Diner Deal

Brodie picked the diner, which told me he thought he was in charge.

It sat on Grant Road between a tire shop and a vape store, with a neon coffee cup in the window.

He had texted at midnight: Just us. Monday, 7 a.m. I'll make this go away.

My lawyer had said no.

Gabe had said, "Then we do it where I can hear him."

I got there at 6:50 and took the booth by the window.

I put my phone face up on the table with the recorder running and a menu leaning against it.

Behind me, in the next booth, someone ordered black coffee and two eggs over easy.

I did not turn around.

Brodie walked in at seven exactly.

He had not shaved, and his shirt was the same one from the hearing, wrinkled under the arms.

He slid into the seat across from me and looked at the menu stand.

"Is that recording?"

"No," I said, and flipped the phone face down.
