Chapter 19: The Garage

On Thursday at nine at night Eli's phone buzzed with a text from an unknown number.

Garage, P2. Come alone or the video goes out tonight.

He looked at the empty studio.

Declan's lamp was off.

Eli took the freight elevator down with his hands in his jacket pockets and the lantern tube under his arm.

The mill's parking garage smelled of oil and wet concrete.

Level P2 held a handful of cars and a long row of pillars.

A single fluorescent tube flickered over the far wall.

Craig Beckman leaned against his silver car, in his camel coat, with his phone in his hand.

"You came," he said.

"You said alone."

"I like it when people listen." Craig pushed off the car. "Godfrey told me you turned him down."

"Godfrey talks too much."

"Godfrey is a generous man. He offered you the seat, Eli. On a plate."

Craig smiled.

"And you said no, for a man who cost you Copenhagen."

Eli went still.

"Did he tell you that too?"

"He tells me everything."

Craig walked toward him with his coat swinging.
