Chapter 26: The Recording
Laurence laughed into the silence.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he said, loud enough without a microphone, "my aunt."
A few people laughed with him.
I didn't look at him. I looked at the room.
Six hundred faces, tipped up toward the landing, the reindeer flying over them.
"Hi," I said. "I'm Dess. I do the windows."
I held up the envelope. "My husband was served at the door tonight. This is the contract Laurence just told you about. It's real. He signed it in the spring."
I looked down at the older cousin on the step below me.
"Yesterday he told the board it didn't exist."
"He sold you a check in February," I said. "Here's what it cost. Bex?"
Up on the mezzanine, Bex hit a key.
Laurence's voice came out of every speaker in the atrium.
Five weeks old. Bex's porch. My phone.
"I signed a pre-sale in the spring. A hundred and forty million dollars."
The whole room turned its head toward the speakers.
"The store lost more than I told Felix. Three years running. I covered it."
