Chapter 19: Reinstated
Chloe walked out of that boardroom with her lawyer and her smile, and nothing fell on us.
I waited for it all that afternoon, and all that evening, and it didn't come.
The next morning at nine, Soren and I climbed the stairs of the Milwaukee homicide squad room.
The glass wall was the same, and the plastic bench was the same.
Inside, a man in a captain's uniform was boxing his own desk.
Two people from the district attorney's office stood over him with folders.
He took a coffee mug off the shelf and set it in the box without looking up.
"Retirement, effective at noon," said the older of the two.
"The district attorney thanks you for your service. He'd also like the page you pulled from the Krebs report."
The captain laid a folded sheet of paper on top of the box.
It had been in his desk the whole time.
Nobody in that squad room said anything.
He picked up the box and walked out through the door past us, and he did not look at Soren once.
