Chapter 27: The Microphone

Leonard's smile got wider.
He hadn't expected that.
He liked it.
"I did it," I said again. "I took Kendrick Mercer's bank receipts out of his filing cabinet with his own key."
"Then I carried them to Boston and put them on this man's table."

"I stood in this room in October and called him a liar, and I believed every word."
"I was wrong."

"Kendrick didn't forge anything," I said. "But somebody did."

The boy running the screen was one of our junior servers, nineteen, with his tie loose.
He'd carried trays beside me my first week.
I held out my phone to him.
