Chapter 24: The Garden
Verity drove, and she ran two red lights on Bull Street without apologizing for either.
Posey sat in the back seat with her phone to her ear.
She was calling the police and the pilot office and the restaurant in the same breath.
I stared through the windshield and thought one thing, again and again.
She took him.
She took him out of a room I could have reached in moments.
The volunteer had said a woman in a grey uniform had come in during the recess, with a pass from the clerk's office.
She had told Linus his grandmother had cookies.
I knew who the woman in grey was.
She was the Gaston Street housekeeper, who had once let me in through the kitchen door.
We parked crooked in front of the penny-colored door.
I did not knock.
I went in through the iron side gate.
The housekeeper stood in the path with her hands in her apron and her eyes full of tears.
"He's in the garden," she said. "He's fine. I'm so sorry, ma'am. I didn't know what else to do."
