Chapter 19: The Recording
Imogen Eustis was sitting on our stoop at seven in the morning, holding a paper cup of coffee she had not drunk.
She wore yesterday's coat over a dress that had been slept in, and her blonde hair had given up.
I opened the door in a sweater and stood in the gap.
Lucian came up behind me, shirtless, with a towel around his neck, and stopped.
"I know what you think," Imogen said.
"I think you walked out of Bulfinch Tower last night with a flash drive."
"I sold it to him."
She said it to the cup.
"Four million dollars, a vice chairmanship for my father, and the engagement left standing on the board's books."
"I thought if I couldn't have Lucian, I could have the name."
"And?" I said.
"He plugged it into his own laptop and listened to himself for ten seconds. Then he thanked me. He said I'd been very useful."
Useful was the word she had once used about me, behind a bar, with a wrap over her arm.
