Chapter 13: The Fifth Room

The sedan was gone by morning.

Gaston drove them home to Lafayette in silence, one hand on the wheel and the other on Emile's knee.

At the compound he went straight to the barn with his brothers to check the fence line.

Emile did not follow.

He stood on the porch with a cup of chicory and looked up at the second floor.

At the east end of the upper hall there was a door.

He had walked past it ten times.

It had a brass lock and no handle on the outside.

Every time Emile came near it, one of the brothers found a reason to steer him toward the kitchen.

*I wrote you letters.*

He put the cup down and went up the stairs.

The lock was old.

He had picked worse in the back of a restaurant, with a butter knife, when the manager lost the freezer key.

It took only a moment.

The door swung inward on a smell of cedar and ink and clean cotton.
