Chapter 22: First Cake
They picked Kent up at the terminal gate at noon that same day.
Two cruisers. In front of the morning shift, in his camel coat, with his hands behind his back.
The man with the fire hydrant neck filmed it on his phone and sent it to Matvei, who sent it to me.
At four, the detective called me down to the station on West Broadway.
"I want you here when he walks past," she said. "Either way."
I sat on a plastic chair in the lobby for three hours with my red coffee can on my knees.
Matvei sat beside me on my right side and didn't say a word the whole time.
At seven a door opened at the end of the hall.
Kent came out first. A lawyer in a gray suit came behind him, Parker's lawyer, the one with the fat folder from the dinner.
No cuffs.
The detective came out last. Her face told me before she did.
"He says he found the man at the foot of the ladder," she said quietly. "Knelt to help him, panicked, drove home. That's how the blood got on his coat."
