Chapter 28: The Offer

Sabina walked into the boat house at nine that night with her glasses crooked and her coat buttoned wrong.

She sat on a stack of unassembled bunk beds and told us everything.

The safe, the folder, the mailer, the offer of my old bed by the window for life.

Cass listened with the padded envelope in her lap.

It had come that afternoon to the bait shop, and she had opened it in front of the postal clerk, who had said, "Honey, are you all right?"

"Four of them," Cass said, when Sabina finished. "Transfer pending."

"To Youngstown," Sabina said. "She was going to scatter the ones who might talk."

"When?"

"Her note says Thursday."

"That's three days," I said.

Stefan, at the workbench, said nothing, but I heard a tool put down hard.

Cass looked at Sabina.

"You went in alone," she said.

"Yes."

"Rule two," Cass said.

"I know."

"You lied to me in a text. You said Home. Safe. Love you," Cass said.
