Chapter 13: What Brant Heard
Ellen was already moving.
"I'm sending every car I have to the service plaza outside Carlisle," she said into her phone.
"Lyle's meeting is at midnight, and the buyer there does not know us."
"Let me go," I said.
"No."
"He wants me."
"That is exactly why you are staying in Baltimore, Caleb."
She pointed at the agents' van parked outside the roll-up door, its side panel open and a heater running.
"Sit in that. Both of you. Do not leave it."
Then she was gone, and her coat went out into the flashing lights.
Jo squeezed my hand once and went to find a blanket for Brant.
The agents gave him a paper cup of water and a medic looked at his jaw.
He took none of it in.
He sat on the van's bench seat with the black token in both hands, turning it over.
"Can I hear it again?" he said.
"It's yours."
"Alone."
I looked at Jo.
She nodded, and we stepped out into the cold.
