The Plaza basement still smelled like wet cement and old soil. The gold pot sat where the fern had been, empty, the hole under it already filled with fresh concrete as if someone had decided dirt was too honest. Glasses stood beside it in a coat that belonged to a woman who filed papers for a living and burned buildings for a hobby. No candy. No smile that reached anything. “You brought the husband,” she said. “I asked for the wife.” “You asked for a minute,” Vincent said. “A minute has room for two.” I stayed on his left. The knife sat against my ankle. The slips were with Vance. The note was in Alvarez’s pocket by now because we had stopped carrying her dares without a copy. “The four are still wet,” Glasses said. “I can dry them. I can also make them disappear into a account that does not answer to a cardigan. Your choice is simple. The wife puts on the ring for sixty seconds on this floor. I film nothing. I only watch. Then the four return to a name that is not Harvest.”
