Protect him from what?

He didnt respond. Myron felt his phone buzz. He took a surreptitious glance and saw that the call was coming from his father. He stepped out of the room and put the phone to his ear. Dad?

I heard about Suzze on the radio. Is it true?

Yes. Im at the hospital now.

Im so sorry.

Thanks. Im kind of busy here. . . .

When youre done, do you think you could swing by the house?

Tonight?

If possible.

Is something wrong?

I just need to talk to you about something, Dad said. Dont worry how late. Ill be awake.

Before leaving the hospital, Myron played lawyer and warned Loren Muse not to speak to his client Lex Ryder without legal counsel. She responded that he should be fruitful and multiply, but not in those exact words. Win and Esperanza arrived. Win filled him in on his prison encounter with Frank Ache. Myron wasnt sure what to make of it.

Perhaps, Win said, we should meet with Herman Ache.

Perhaps, Myron said, we should meet with Gabriel Wire. He turned to Esperanza. Lets also check on our favorite French teacher, see where Crush was at the time of Suzzes death.

Okay, Esperanza said.

I can drive you home, Win said.

But Myron shook him off. He needed the downtime. He needed to take a step back. Maybe Muse was right. Maybe it was a drug overdose. Last night, on that balcony overlooking Manhattan, all that talk about secrets, all that guilt about Kitty and the pastmaybe it summoned up old demons. Maybe the answer would be as simple as that.

Myron got into his car and headed back to his home in Livingston. He called Dad to let him know that he was on his way. Drive safely, his father said. Myron hoped that maybe his father would offer up a clue about what they needed to discuss, but he didnt. AM radio was already reporting the death of former troubled tennis sensation Suzze T, and Myron again wondered about the inept shortcutting of the media.
