Chapter 18: Nine Notes
Alex's POV
The brokerage was empty at ten at night, and I had the only key to the back safe.
My grandmother had signed the nine notes over to me in October, the week I asked for Ari by name.
She had said that whatever I did with them she would not ask.
I carried them down the dark corridor to the break room, in a gray folder, with the notice from my coat folded on top.
I had taken the notice out of the pocket in the hotel at five that morning, while she slept.
I had left before she woke.
I did not trust myself to be in the room.
I flew home with it against my chest and the nine notes waiting in the safe.
The break room had a steel sink, a coffee machine, and a window that opened onto the alley.
I opened the window.
I ran the cold tap and left it running.
Thanos's gold lighter was still on the shelf over the sink where he had left it before Christmas.
