The Blackened room. Sarah’s ruined body sprawled on the sofa. Tommy, face down on the floor, left hand outstretched clutching his favorite orange toy gun.
But there had been something wrong with that image. Tommy had been right-handed.
Epilogue
The figure in the dark suit leaned across the table and eyed the second man on the other side. They were silent, the room weighed down by the envelope on the table between them.
“Tell me,” the man in the suit said. “What happened to this washed-up drunk you promised me? I thought this Blume character was supposed to be a joke.” He spoke with a clipped accent, an unnerving pause after certain words.
“Even drunks can be motivated from time to time,” the second man said.
“Have you lost your ability to keep an eye on him?”
“Absolutely not. When news gets out that he cracked this Ellington thing, he’ll be swamped with business. If he stays busy, he’s not a problem for us.”
After a slight hesitation, the man in the suit pushed the envelope over to the second man. He accepted the envelope and peeked inside. He counted the £50 notes quickly and then nodded.
“Another thing,” the suited man said as he stood to leave. “This ordeal with Blume’s wife and son. Can we be certain that he will not discover the truth?”
“Nothing is certain,” the second man said, “but we can do our part, at least.”
“And what is yours?”
The second man smiled, tapping the envelope of money. “To make sure he never finds out what really happened to them.”
The suited man nodded and took his leave, confidently pacing towards the restaurant exit.
As he reached the door, he paused and called back, “Always nice working with you, Amir.”
“Likewise,” Amir said, tapping his fingers on the envelope of money. “Likewise.”
