Chapter 18: The Spare Key
The key came at ten on Thursday night, in a cream envelope, in the driver's hand.
"Mr. Bellandi asked me to say it is entirely up to you, miss," the driver said.
"Did he say anything else?"
"He asked me to say it twice," the driver said. "I said it once. I thought that was kind."
Inside the envelope was a brass key and a card in small capitals.
NO OBLIGATION. M.
"That's a courtesy," I said.
"It's the nearest he could write," the driver said.
Lucia was sweeping flour into a pile behind the counter, and she did not look up.
"Five dollars," she said.
"I know."
"Take a loaf," Lucia said. "Bread at the door means you're staying."
"I'm not staying. I'm delivering."
"Take two," Lucia said.
I took one, hot, in a paper bag, and I checked that the green tin was in my handbag.
The driver took me across the city to Bridgeport and parked under a streetlight outside Bellandi Linen.
