Chapter 17: Twenty Thousand

Malachy was dressed in one, because he'd only taken off his boots.
"Front door or the back stairs?" he said.
"Front. I want them to see me coming."

They were all standing in the narrow paved yard at the bottom, below the level of the street.

Keira stood a step behind her sister, in a white puffer jacket with the hood up, her face pink from crying.
The third woman was young, in a good parka, holding a small black recorder up between them.

Her face lit up.
"Ms. Cabot. Perfect. I'm with..."
"I know who you're with," I said. "You ran my handwriting yesterday."
