Chapter 20: Say Her Name
He came out of the chapel.
I saw the door open at the far end of the compound, the stone box with the tin cross, and a man in a good blue shirt step out into the sun.
He was walking badly.
He had his hat in one hand and a flask in the other, and his silver hair had fallen out of its comb.
He crossed the gravel past the dog kennels with the whole grove watching him.
Idoia had seen him.
I watched my sister's face change.
It was not fear.
It was the look of a woman counting her pieces on a board and finding one she had not moved.
"Papa," she said, bright and high.
"Papa, come and tell them."
My father stopped at the end of the long table.
He swayed.
He looked down the length of white cloth at three hundred faces, and I saw him understand that he was not hidden.
"I was in the chapel," he said.
His voice came out thick.
"Idoia's driver brought me last night.
"She said, go and pray for your daughter.
"She said, it will all be done by Saturday.
"So I prayed."
"You were in a hotel room on the Block," Ximun said.
It was the first thing he had said since I stood up.
He did not raise his voice, and every head turned to it.
"A man in a dark suit took you out of it by the back stair," he said.
"He is standing beside my cousin now."
