”“Good night, Ann. I’m proud of you already.” Ann looked tired in the morning. I’ll bet she didn’t sleep much last night thinking about th...e lesson I had given her. When we got into the car to go to work, I positioned the rearview mirror where I could glance back at Ann. She smiled when she saw me looking in the glass.My father gave Ann a desk and a computer. “I’ll show you as I have time.” He asked her to study how we controlled our inventory. “Sarah will give you the books and you can study. “He comes here often?” Sean asked.“Every day,” the woman answered. “That troll is the cheapest afterschool program in the area.”“You don’t say,” Sean said. He noticed a soaking wet kid get in line behind him. Turning to talk to the kid, he asked, “What’s up?”“Stomp is in good form today.

You worked at a place called ‘Ricky’s Cabaret’ near Pittsburgh for a couple of years and came to Nashville when you were 23. After that, your story is pretty much like you’ve told it.”“I was a waitress,” Stephanie protested in a whisper.“I have no idea what you did and it doesn’t matter to me,” I said. “I decided that you were unlikely to be the source of leaked information so I kept it to myself. But this time, I’m not going to let you lie.”“I’m not lying about anything,” Stephanie said. ’ I had not thought of my clothes as ‘ordinary’ since I had made quite an effort but I wasn’t going to argue. She shouted to Ivanova to call her driver and the meeting was clearly at an end. I thanked her and left to find a liveried chauffeuse waiting for me. She, tall and willowy, led me to the sleek Mercedes that waited outside the office in contravention of all parking laws, held the back door for me then closed it as I settled into the soft leather seat. I learned that her name was.
