Chapter 18: Brunch

"You have a cleaner who sells keys," my mother said. "I would fire her."

"She's already fired."

"Good. Sit down."

I did not sit.

I took out my phone and sent a message to the guard at the gate.

My mother watched me do it.

"Go on," she said. "Call the man in the uniform. Have him carry your mother out of your kitchen at three in the morning."

"That's what I'm doing."

"And in the morning I will tell Channel Seven you did it."

"Tell them."

"I will tell them about the house you didn't pay for and the church you let me lose."

The guard's answer lit my screen.

He was on the porch.

I put the phone face-down on the island.

"I'll give you until the sun comes up," I said. "Then you leave."

"You say what you came to say, and every word of it is on the camera over the stove."

She glanced up.

A small black dome looked down at her from the ceiling.

For a second she did not know where to put her hands.

Then she folded them on the marble, the way she folded them in church.
