Chapter 21: Same Room
The detective held the paper while I read it a second time.
"His family's throwing a dinner Thursday night in Seattle," he said. "Some merger. Booked for months. Half the city's coming."
"I'll have a warrant by then."
He looked at me.
"You want to be there?"
I took out my pad.
I wrote on it.
Where?
He told me the name of the club.
I knew it before he finished saying it.
The same private room.
That night, in the hotel, I picked up my phone and looked at Leland's name for a long time.
Then I typed.
Term five. Seattle. Thursday, seven. Stand at the back. Don't speak.
He answered in under a minute.
I'll be there.
The private room hadn't changed.
Same dark wood, same low lamps, same long table.
The mirrored liquor cabinet was new, and someone had bolted it to the wall.
There were forty people this time.
Porter's parents at the head of the table.
Three men in grey suits from the company buying into Redfield Development, with their wives.
Porter's friends, the same nine who'd laughed in this room a month ago.
