Chapter 13: Clyde's Story
I was out of bed before the screen went dark.
Ramsey caught my wrist.
"Jo. Where are you going?"
"To Clyde. Before he sees it alone."
"He's seventy-two. He doesn't have the app."
"Kyla will make sure somebody sends it to him."
His bungalow light was on.
He was sitting at his kitchen table in his undershirt and red suspenders, a mug in front of him, the barn phone face down beside it.
He didn't look up when I came in.
"Sit down, kid."
I sat.
He reached behind him to the shelf over the stove and took down a coffee can I'd never once seen him open.
He tipped it out.
A pocketknife. A rusted bullhook tip with no handle. A folded newspaper page, gone the color of tea.
The same picture Kyla had posted.
"You had it this whole time," I said.
"Thirty-seven years." He smoothed it flat with his thumb. "I keep it so I don't forget what a liar looks like in print."
Ramsey came in quietly behind me and leaned on the doorframe.
Clyde looked at him.
"You too, hotel man. Sit. You're blocking my light."
