Chapter 23: The Witness
I unlocked the green door.
The bell rang over both of us.
Truman came in slowly, the cane first, and stood just inside with the cold behind him.
He looked at the plywood.
He looked at the glass still glittering in the cracks between the floorboards, and at my mother's gardenia picked clean on the worktable.
"Who?" he said.
"Ask your maintenance department."
His eyebrows came down.
I found my phone and showed him the screenshot Annabeth had sent the police.
A white pickup under the streetlight.
The blue logo on the driver's door.
He held the phone close to his face, then far away, then close again.
"That's my truck," he said. "That truck fixed your gutters in August. I signed the invoice."
"I know."
He handed the phone back very carefully, the way he'd set the gardenias down at his table.
Then the curtain to the back moved, and August came out in jeans and a white T-shirt, barefoot, with his hair every direction.
He stopped when he saw who it was.
Truman looked at his son.
He looked at me in his son's T-shirt.
