Carey never had any idea how much money she had or what she'd spent it on. She was one of those people who believed that if she had checks, she must have money. She made a good salary, and her husband was rich, so money, at least the kind you spend during the day, meant almost nothing to her: Letty popped the purse and took a peek into Carey's bil fold. Must be a thousand dol ars in fifties, Letty thought.

She took two of them, decided that the thickness of the currency seemed not at al diminished and took two more.

She put the bil fold back in the purse, put the purse back as she'd found it, and ambled back out of the office and over to the people she'd been talking with earlier.

When Carey came back from the bathroom, she cal ed,

"Let's do it," and Letty went to join her.

The skaters were gathering in Mears Park in St. Paul's Lower-town, an area of older brick warehouses converted to lofts and condos and smal , marginal businesses. Letty pointed them out and Carey looked them over, from the front seat of her SUV and then said, "You know, you do have a natural eye for this.

I told your dad that last night."

"Maybe I'l be an economist," Letty said. "TV is starting to seem so superficial."

Carey made a rude noise and said, "Let's get a truck over here. You go get your friends lined up."

***

Carey cal ed a Channel Three van, and let Letty out to talk to the skaters while she took her SUV to a parking garage up the block. Letty got her cel phone out and cal ed Juliet Briar:

"Where are you?"

"Stil at home. Randy's sleeping," Briar said.

"Tel him that a guy cal ed for a date, and that you'l walk

down," Letty said. "I got some money."

After a moment's silence, Briar said, "Okay."

"Cal me when you get out."

The leader of the skate gang was named Marv, a burly, cheerful busted-faced guy with a shaven head and jeans so old that they looked like paper. He was wearing a T-shirt that said, "Mathews Solocam, Catch Us If You Can," that was washed thinner than the jeans.

He held out a fist and they bumped knuckles and he said,

"How are you, babe?"

"Don't cal me babe," Letty said, but she said it with her happy face, and she asked, "So who's who?"

There were seven guys and one girl among the skaters, and al of them desperately wanted to be on television. As Marv introduced them, Letty kept looking at the girl, with her dry,

underfed, feral face, thinking that she was the one; but she had to keep Marv and the others happy, too. A management problem.

After the introductions, she said, "Listen, we've got a van coming with a camera. I'l want to talk to Marv, and then to Jean, because she's a girl, and we don't have that many girl skaters, and then maybe whoever ' but I'd like to see some runs, if you got anything that's good.
