TWENTY‐TWO

I called Salma. If she was angry with me for disrupting her Saturday afternoon, it didn’t register above the hostility she’d already shown me. I asked her to set up the meeting with the third victim, the one she was willing to introduce me to. She said yes, but there was a lot of background noise, and she had to repeat herself a couple times.

“Where are you? Sounds like there’s a riot going on.”

“Villa Park. Me and my brother have season tickets.”

“Villa? You’re a Villa fan?” Her support of a Birmingham team was a personal betrayal of everything I held dear.

“My dad lived in Aston before I was born, if you must know.” Was that a trace of defensiveness in her voice? Excellent. Victory for me. “He used to take us to the games when we were little.”

“Look, it’s going to be okay. Everything will be all right. There’s still time. Wolves are playing tomorrow. You can come with me to the game, and we may be able to save your soul.”

She was still laughing when I hung up.
