Chapter 19: The Door
The hall doors opened before our guards could shut them.
Six federal agents came in, and in front of them walked the man in the gray suit who had checked my face in our foyer.
He carried a clipboard, and he did not look at the crews.
"Ciara Doran is under federal protection," he said. "I'm here to collect her. I am also collecting Maeve Doran, as a material witness."
Nobody answered him.
Then Conor walked down the length of the head table, put himself between the agents and his sister, and stood with his arms at his sides.
"No," he said.
"Mr. Doran, this is not a negotiation."
"You're in my father's hall. You came through my gate with no paper, and you're asking me to hand you my sister." Conor looked at the clipboard. "Show me a warrant."
"It will be signed by morning."
"Then come back in the morning."
Chairs scraped behind him.
A hundred and twenty people were standing up, and every crew boss in Chicago was among them.
They did not draw anything.
They only stood, and the agents counted them.
The gray-suited man looked at the room for a long moment.
He had a badge, six armed men and no warrant.
I watched him decide not to start a fight in front of a hundred and twenty witnesses.
"Mr. Kerr," he said, without turning.
Eamon stood beside me and did not move.
"Your clearance expired at midnight," the man said. "I hope the hotline was worth it."
"It was," said Eamon.
The man's eyes came to me.
"Researcher Nine. That name was the only thing keeping you safe in that program."
