Matt had fallen asleep in the chair again after the alarm went off, and when his cellphone rang it roused him only enough to implant a dim impression that he had missed a phone call somewhere, some time. When the fall-back alarm went off the next time, however, Karen came in from the kitchen and woke him with a kiss.
“Hey, counselor. Time to get up. You have places to go and things to do, yes?”
“Mmmghhfff,” he said. She smelled of shampoo and cologne; there was bacon cooking somewhere, and coffee. All of which were very good reasons to get out of the chair and wake up.
He showered and dressed, humming as he did so, that same tune he’d been humming for days. Karen came in long enough to approve of his shirt and veto the tie in favor of another, then dropped a kiss on his chin and went back to the bacon. Matt took up his pen, wallet, and keys. When he slipped his cellphone into his pocket, it vibrated slightly in his hand: the noiseless “message waiting” alarm.
Already? he thought, and picked up the message.
“Matthew?” Rosalind Sharpe’s recorded voice purred into his ear. It was too early to talk to Rosalind, he thought. “Bernard Quayle and I have worked out a way to make this whole Louis Bastuto thing go away. So don’t worry about it anymore.”
“Rosalind!” He said the name like a curse. Why couldn’t she give him the really useful information? Like what sort of “way” she and Bernard Quayle had worked out to resolve Louis Bastuto’s problems. And how she talked Quayle into it in the first place? And what, if anything, it would cost Louis Bastuto?
Gratefully drinking a first cup of coffee, Matt reflected that he felt let down by Rosalind’s message. He didn’t want to forget about the Bastuto case, because he’d begun to feel there was some connection between Louis Bastuto’s troubles and the turmoil in Hell’s Kitchen. Maybe even a connection to the Cutter. Nothing overt, certainly nothing he could prove yet, but … the woman who had been attacked last night was Bastuto’s neighbor. Another mover and shaker in the neighborhood campaign to find out what RenanTech’s true intentions toward the neighborhood were. True, Karen said that the woman had said some incendiary things about the Cutter on her show. But the Sealy woman had also told him the Cutter had said to give the neighborhood a message: get out. Had Louis Bastuto’s experience at RenanTech been a more civilized way of sending the same message?
And was there any real connection?
He sighed, thumbed the face plate off his watch and checked the time: 10:07. He had no meetings scheduled today, and if he didn’t put in an appearance at the office Foggy would probably explode. He would have to go in, for the sake of office morale if nothing else. And who knew: maybe they’d have finished painting his office. Maybe they’d have finished painting someone’s office. Stranger things had happened.
