Chapter 6: Mint Chocolates
The driver got out and opened the rear door for me.
I looked back at the bay.
The big guy was holding Margo against his shoulder and patting her.
"Go," Cormac said. "We've got her. Twelve hands."
I got into the Lincoln.
It smelled like leather and peppermint.
Winifred didn't look at me right away. She was looking at the firehouse, at the red doors, at the six men lined up in the window pretending not to watch.
"They're very large," she said.
"They're very kind."
"Those aren't the same thing. It's nice when they come together." She opened a white paper bag on her lap. "Chocolate?"
I took one. It was the same brand she'd brought to every Sunday lunch for five years.
She'd brought a bag to the hospital for Margo.
"That girl was just here," Winifred said.
"Valerie."
"I know her name. I watched her eat my food at my table for four years." She folded the bag closed. "What did she want?"
"For me to come home and raise both babies in the house. As sisters. Her word."
Winifred's mouth went thin.
"And?"
"And she has the video, and she wants me to know it."
Winifred was quiet for a long moment.
The driver had stepped away to the corner and lit a cigarette.
"I'll be quick, because I'm old and you're bleeding," Winifred said. "My husband built the trust. My grandson holds the chair only while he's married. The heir is the first child of that marriage."
"Margo."
"Margo." She turned and looked at me properly for the first time. Her eyes were sharp and gray, like Bradford's, but awake. "Which makes you a problem for him and her very valuable."
