The lobby of the Riddell Centre was packed — I’d never seen it so crowded. I spotted Seth Wright across the lobby, but he was too far away to notice us. No one seemed to be moving, but people always make room for a man in a wheelchair, and we were almost at the doors to the theatre, when Zack muttered, “Move fast. Gideon Sass is over there.”

Gideon Sass was easy to spot in a crowd. He was at least six foot six and heavy-set. He had a year-round tan, greying blond hair styled in a French crop, and he was loud — very loud. Seemingly, no one had ever taught Gideon to use his indoor voice.

“What’s he doing here?” I said.

“Waiting for someone to slip and fall, so he can get a class action suit rolling,” Zack said, then he noticed a space ahead and pushed his chair forward.

“You really don’t like him, do you?”

“I used to think he was just an embarrassment to the profession, but after hearing Eden’s podcast, I reassessed. Anybody who would do that to his children is a monster.”

“Agreed,” I said. “On a brighter note, look down at the left side of the front row. Kam Chau’s there, and he’s saved places for us. Des is still having a tough time with teething, so Taylor’s sitting with Mieka and Charlie close to the exit in case one of them has to leave. Anyway, we’re all seated, and so there’s nothing for you and me to do except cross our fingers, and hope for the best.”
