Chapter 13: Hold for D. Wolfe
I read the line three times.
Then I held the phone out to Elias.
He read it standing by the bed.
His face didn't change at all.
That was how I knew it was bad.
"Conrad's lawyer went to the paper at six this morning," he said. "Damian sent the photo."
I scrolled down.
Conrad's words were printed in a box.
"Wolfe wanted the Ashcroft trust. The girl came with it. He told me to break her so she'd never leave him. When I got scared and tried to back out, he took my hotel."
Under that was a picture of Conrad in a jail jumpsuit, looking sad.
"He's lying," I said.
My voice cracked in the middle.
"Everybody knows he's lying."
Elias didn't answer.
My phone rang.
The artistic director.
"Eliza." He was out of breath. "Damian Wolfe is on our front steps. There are cameras everywhere. He says he's going to close the theater."
