Chapter 23: The Fourteenth
The harbormaster's daughter-in-law had a girl at three in the morning in Rockland, eight pounds even.
Sawyer flew home at dawn with a photo of her on his phone.
The mechanic had put the work tag in a sandwich bag and slept with it under his pillow.
"Kid," he'd said. "Chain of custody. I watch television."
He gave it to me on the grange hall steps, still in the sandwich bag.
By seven that night the grange hall was fuller than I'd ever seen it.
Three hundred and forty people inside. Another hundred in the parking lot, listening through the open windows in their coats.
Everybody over eighteen who lived on the island.
Everybody under eighteen too, sitting on their parents' knees and the radiators.
The Delano board had come over on the morning ferry.
They sat in the second row, in good wool.
Constance sat in the front row, center, in pearls.
Kenzie sat beside her in a cream coat with a Delano Hotels folder on her knees.
She turned around once and found me.
She smiled.
I sat in the fourth row between Kit and Sawyer.
Sawyer's grandmother was on Kit's other side. She had her purse in her lap again.
