Chapter 24: You Don't Decide
"Do we have a deal or not?" Gabriella said.
Her voice shook on the last word.
"Come back in a week," I said. "I'll have an answer."
Annette stepped aside with the shears.
Gabriella went out fast toward Tasker, without her sunglasses on.
I turned my phone over.
Fourteen minutes and nine seconds.
"Please tell me," Annette said, "you did not just promise that woman your man."
"He's not my man. And I didn't promise her anything. I got her to say it."
My hands started shaking then, all at once.
Annette took the phone out of them and called Mauro herself.
He came back from his lawyer's in twelve minutes.
I played it for him at the cutting table under the lamp.
He sat through all fourteen minutes without moving.
At "he won't miss this time," he walked away from the table.
He put both hands flat on the front window.
"Dom ate an egg sandwich that morning," he said to the glass. "I paid for it. Then I walked out the bakery door first."
