Chapter 21: Cutter Freight
I didn't take the folder.
"I drive one truck," I said. "I don't know how to run forty-six."
"You know every route they run. You know the plates. You know the stop times." Augustus was still holding it out. "I've run that company for three years, and I never knew what was in the trailers. You knew from the road."
"What would you do?"
"Whatever you tell me to."
Alastair was leaning on his truck, pretending he wasn't listening.
"Say yes," he said. "Then make him wash dishes."
I took the folder.
Four months later, the blue trailers were white.
We painted them in the old Kesterson yard in Cumberland, one a day, with the doors open and a radio going.
Over the gold letters, in plain black: CUTTER FREIGHT.
Every trailer got a window cut into the front wall. Clem's idea.
"So anybody can look in," he said. "Any cop, any time. Nothing to hide."
