Chapter 14: A Small White Box

I read the line three times, and each time it said the same thing.

Boyle, female, living, to Thornquist.

Thornquist, female, stillborn, to Boyle.

Nobody in the basement spoke.

Lou's big hand came down on the table beside the book, and I saw it was shaking.

"Say that again," he said to Gordon. His voice was very quiet.

"I don't know what that page means," Gordon said. "A night nurse wrote in a ledger seventeen years ago. Hospitals make clerical errors."

"There's a date and two times," Sean said. "That's not an error. That's a delivery slip."

Gordon looked at him and did not answer.

Then Lexi stepped out from behind Sean, holding the napkin to her lip.

"Your baby died," she said to Gordon. "The one before me. You told me she was a girl, and that she died the night she was born."

"Lexi, go and sit down."

"You told me she was buried somewhere nice."

Gordon said nothing.

Lou turned and looked at me.

He looked at my face for a long time, at my eyebrow and my jaw.

"Your mother held you for twenty minutes," he said. "Then she was gone, and they told me you were gone too. A man in a gray suit came into the waiting room. He said he was sorry, and that the hospital would handle everything."
