Chapter 20: The Box

"Who else?" I said.

The goalkeeper looked back at the building again.

"Portland's left back," he said. "A kid in Salt Lake. Maybe four more. He's got six clients in this league and he goes to games where none of them are on our team."

"How do you know?"

"Because I'm in the same group chat as half of them, and they all pay him something." He wiped his hands down his kit. "I'm not going on record. I've got two kids and a mortgage and three years left in my legs."

"Then why are you telling me?"

He looked at me.

"Because you walked onto our pitch alone," he said. "And he walked off it."

He started to go.

Then he turned back.

"He doesn't stand at the rail anymore," he said. "Not since your clips went to the league. He watches from the owner's box now. Next home game's the twenty-sixth. Portland."

Then he jogged back around the building and was gone.

Robin was on the stadium's medical contract.

She'd been on it for six years.

She'd never once worked the owner's box, because the medic up there had to wear a pressed shirt and not eat the food.
