Chapter 21: On the Steps

Galina turned the television off so hard the remote cracked.

Ilya was already on his phone.

He spoke three sentences in Russian, and his voice had gone very soft, which was the worst sign there was.

"Who was that?" I said.

"Someone who'll find out where she's staying."

"No."

He lowered the phone.

"She called you a kidnap victim on the news, Shona. She called our daughter stolen."

"I know what she called me. I was standing right here." I took the phone out of his hand and ended the call. "If she disappears now, she's right. The Russian's wife, kept quiet. The Russian's enemy, gone in the night."

"So what do you want?"

"I want to answer her," I said. "Myself. Out loud. Where the cameras are."

By eight the next morning they were on the sidewalk outside our building.

Three news vans with their masts up, a dozen reporters, and a ring of people with phones.

Somebody had found the address, and the whole city had found out what I looked like at twenty-six weeks.
