Chapter 15: The Check

Two million dollars.
"What is this for?" I asked.
"For you to be reasonable."
"What would reasonable look like?"
"You leave Pittsburgh. You divorce Rafe quietly, at the end of the thirty days, and you sign an agreement that you will say nothing about your mother to anyone." Adelaide crossed her legs. "You keep your career. Nobody will tell the Montana board a thing."
"And if I say no?"
"Then Anselm is a patient man, and I'm a patient woman, and your license is an easy thing to question." She smiled. "A surgeon who lied on a nursing agency application. A surgeon who married a patient. Who entered a hospital's sealed wing without authorization."

"Rafael cut the chain on a camera. It's what a man does when he thinks he's alone."
I put the check down.
"Tell me about my mother," I said.
