Chapter 19: Flight Case

"For your rest, Mrs. Schneider," the bigger one said. "Mr. Schneider wants you calm."

"He says you'll be walked on at the end. Cue forty-four."

"By whom?"

"By me."

He smiled politely, a young man with a neck, and took the lanyard off my neck.

It was the one with ALL ACCESS printed on it in gold.

He tucked it in his pocket.

They had also taken my phone, in a velvet pouch, "for the broadcast."

So I sat in the dressing room of the Lyric Auditorium in a robe, with a tray of fruit and a bottle of sparkling water, and watched the clock on the wall.

Brendan had set it up well.

He had felt something in the air since Milwaukee, and he had decided to keep me close and quiet until the moment he needed me.
