Chapter 13: The Owner Speaks
The laugh wore itself out.
I stood on the pier with my ribs aching and the floodlights in my eyes.
Nobody moved except the camera, which slid in another foot.
"Turn them off," Ray said.
Renata tilted her head.
"I'm sorry?"
"Every camera on this lawn. Turn them off now."
"We're rolling, Mr. Cooper. You signed the release yourself."
"My name is Alister Lindahl," he said.
He didn't raise his voice.
He didn't need to, because the whole shore had gone quiet enough to hear the water.
"I own the company that owns your network's parent. The man who signed your release is named Cooper, and he doesn't exist."
Renata's smile held for three seconds, the longest I'd seen it hold.
Then she lifted her radio.
"Kill the lights," she said, in a voice like a closed drawer.
The floodlights thunked off one bank at a time.
The red lights on the cameras went dark.
Without them the pier was only a pier, and the people on it were only people, cold and confused in their coats.
Alister turned to face the lawn.
