Chapter 17: What He Asked
"When?"
"Last night. Eleven o'clock. He came over on the last boat and rang my bell like he meant to break it."
I had ten minutes before the run back to Seattle.
Walter rode it with me.
He climbed the wheelhouse ladder one slow rung at a time and sat down in the jump seat.
"Passengers aren't allowed up here," I said.
"I own the boat."
"Nobody's supposed to know that."
"Then don't tell anybody." He folded his hands on his cane. "Drive, Captain."
I backed us out of the slip.
The bay was flat and gray. Gulls followed the wake.
For the first five minutes he didn't say anything, and neither did I.
Then he said, "He asked me if you got home."
My hands stayed on the controls.
"That was the first thing out of his mouth. Soaking wet on my porch. Not hello. Is she home. Is she safe."
"Dina came for me."
"I know. She texted me at ten. I told him." Walter looked out at the water. "He sat down on my porch step like somebody had cut his strings."
