Jessica wants to walk home alone. I donât insist otherwise. In fact, even though the car is waiting for me, I choose to do the same. She heads south. I head west and start crossing Central Park by the Sixty-Sixth Street transverse. Itâs a beautiful night and itâs a beautiful park and the walk soothes me for perhaps three minutesâuntil my phone buzzes. The call is coming from Sadie Fisherâs iPhone.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Before I have a chance to offer up my customary greeting, Sadie half snaps, âWhere are you?â
I do not like the timbre in her voice. There is anger. And there is fear.
âIâm strolling through Central Park. Is there a problem?â
âThere is. Iâm at the office. Get here as soon as you can.â
She disconnects the call.
I find a taxi heading south on Central Park West. Traffic is light at this hour. Ten minutes later Iâm back at the Lock-Horne Building on Park Avenue. Jim is working security at the desk. I nod at him and head toward my private elevator. Itâs getting late now, north of ten p.m., but this building is filled mostly with financial advisors of one kind or another, many of whom need to work hours that coincide with overseas markets, many more of whom put in wastefully long hours to match the other guy vying for the same promotion. I press the button for the fourth floor, and especially tonight, with a few drinks in me, with images of Jessica Culver still swimming in my head, the memories of MB Repsâthe M stood for Myron, the B for Bolitar, Myron would self-flagellate over the nameâs lack of ingenuityâswirl though my skull.
Sadie greets me when I get off the elevator, though âgreetâ may imply a temperament that is not at all apropos. âWhat did you do, Win?â
âNice to see you too, Sadie.â
She adjusts her glasses. It feels as though she is doing that more as a statement than a need, but whatever gets you through the night. âDo I really look in the mood?â
âWhy donât you tell me whatâs wrong?â
Sadie steps into her office. I notice that Taftâs reception desk is empty except for a box of his belongings. Sadie sees me noticing and arches an eyebrow.
âI had visitors today.â
âOh?â
âThey braced me out on the street. Two huge guys.â
I wait.
âWhat did you do, Win?â
âWho were they?â
âTeddy Lyonsâs brothers.â
I wait.
âWin?â
âDid they threaten you?â
âWell, they didnât want to buy me a drink.â
âWhat did they say?â
âThey accused me of sending a man to hurt Teddy.â
âWhat did you say?â
âWhat do you think I said?â
âThat you didnât.â Then I ask, âDid they believe you?â
âNo, Win, they didnât believe me.â She moves closer to me. âYou were at that basketball game.â
âSo were seventy thousand other people.â
âAre you really going to lie to me?â
âWhat exactly do you think I did, Sadie?â
âThatâs what Iâm asking.â
âIt has nothing to do with you.â
âNo, Win, that isnât true.â Sadie gestures to the empty desk. âTaft told you what Teddy Lyons did to Sharyn, didnât he?â
âAs did you.
