Keith pulled his belt tight and buckled it. "He was fixated on you, Dana. He mentioned you several times, something like, 'That cute little wife of yours.' " "I'm not worried about Travis Boyette. He'd be a fool to come back to Topeka." "He's done dumber things. Look at all the arrests." "We need to go. The game is at 6:30." "I can't wait. I need something to distract me. Do we have a bottle of Communion wine around here?" "I think so." "Good. I need a drink. Let's go watch a little soccer, then we'll spend the rest of the night debriefing." "I want to hear everything." Chapter 33 The meeting was arranged by Judge Elias Henry, and while he did not have the authority to order people around on a Friday night, his powers of persuasion were more than enough. Paul Koffee and Drew Kerber arrived in the judge's chambers promptly at 8:00 p.m. Joe Radford followed them in, and the three sat together on one side of the judge's worktable. Robbie had been there for thirty minutes, along with Carlos, and the atmosphere was already toxic. There were no greetings, no handshakes, no pleasantries. A moment later Mayor Rooney arrived and sat by himself, away from the table. Judge Henry, as always in a dark suit, white shirt, and orange tie, began solemnly. "Everyone is here. Mr. Flak has some information."
