Chapter 12: Roland Park
Aristides Kallis lived in a stone house in Roland Park with a wide flat lawn and a dining room that seated twenty.
Tonight it seated eight.
Linus sat at Leandros's left, in a white shirt buttoned to the collar, and nobody looked at his throat.
That was the strange part.
Every man at the table had seen the mark in the doorway, a dark bruise the size of a thumb under his jaw, and every man had looked away.
Nobody said a word.
In the car Leandros had pressed his thumb to the bruise, once, for a long moment, and said only, "Remember."
Linus remembered.
He sat with his back straight and his hands on his knees.
Opposite him sat Griffin Moyer.
Griffin was in a grey suit, with a bandage on the corner of his mouth and a bruise on his cheek, and he did not look at anyone.
Beside Griffin sat a heavy man in a grey cap who had left it in the hall.
He had a long scar on his hand and a pair of small flat eyes.
He was the only man at the table who watched Linus the whole time.
"Eat," Aristides said, from the head of the table. "Please. The lamb is my cook's, and she has been cooking since dawn."
