Chapter 20: Down
"I'll say anything," said Barrett.
He said it to the whole hall, in a voice that cracked on the amplified word.
"I was scared of her, Jackie."
"I was scared my whole life, and I thought if I did what she said, I'd be safe."
"I loved you in my way."
"Please, just come home, and I'll tell them it was all her."
Eight hundred people watched him cry into a microphone.
Nobody coughed.
I walked across the stage and stopped a pace from him.
Someone had fixed the speakers.
My own mic, in my fist, was warm and alive.
"Barrett," I said, and my voice rolled out over the seats.
"Question one hundred and four."
"Have you ever been unfaithful?"
He shook his head.
"Say it," I said.
"Into the microphone, so they can score you."
His mouth worked.
"Yes," he whispered, and the hall heard it.
A woman near the front said, "Oh, honey," in a voice with no mercy in it at all.
