CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

Chains Forged in Life

When they woke Wednesday morning, they found Weathers in the kitchen, brewing coffee. Marley asked him to prepare a hearty breakfast; she had a lot of people to see that day and her appetite was fierce.

She first placed a call to Elaine, discovered that the environmentalists she hosted would be arriving soon, and made arrangements to meet with them. Before the call was even finished, another came in from a number she didn’t recognize. It was George Salkin, and he wanted to meet with Marley immediately, wherever she was.

Unwilling to let him know where she was living now, Marley proposed alternate plans to meet him at a coffee shop beside the Fisherman’s Terminal.

An hour later, Albert opened the door of the cafe for his aunt, and a trim, sixty-ish man in a pale green polo shirt and cream-colored dockers hurried toward them. “Marley Jacobs! George Salkin. Of course I recognize you—we have an awful lot of friends in common—but isn’t it strange that we don’t know each other?” He was grinning a thousand-watt smile, but it couldn’t disguise the calculating look in his eyes. Albert disliked him immediately.

Marley was well-practiced at hiding her own dislike. “I suppose this is our chance to remedy that, don’t you think? I’m just sorry it has to be under such terrible circumstances.”

“Ah. Yes. Please accept my condolences.”

“Thank you.”

“There’s a private room back here that I reserved for us. Can I get you a coffee?”
