He Died Saving Me on Day 87, So Now I Save Him novel · Chapter 18 of 32
Chapter 18: The Parley
Osterman asked for a truce on the open net on the forty-ninth day.
He did it politely, in his mild voice, and he asked for me and anyone I chose to bring.
"I will not touch you," he said. "I'd like to talk about the winter."
Tor said it was a trap.
Wyatt said it was a trap with a door in it, and doors can be kicked.
I said I wanted to see the inside of the place with my own eyes before the eleventh, and that settled it.
Tor and I went in.
Wyatt waited at the Cliff Avenue gate with the Peterbilt idling.
The engine was the loudest thing we owned, and I wanted it at the door.
"One hour," he said, and his hand closed on my wrist. "Then I come in."
"One hour."
He didn't let go until the deputy at the gate said, "Ma'am."
The arena stood on its hill in the cold sun, a block of gray concrete and glass.
Its parking lot was full of dead cars.
The glass doors opened for us on a wall of warm air.
It hit me like a hand.
The heat was real, and so was the light. The concourse was bright as noon.
Past the ticket booths, the arena floor opened out, and I stopped walking.
