The bartender had placed his glass of wine in front of him, and he clinked it against hers. “That’s how the military works.”

      They finished their wine over casual chatter and then walked a few blocks to a small bistro, where Nicole had a second glass of red.

      At the end of dinner, she pinged her fingernail against her empty glass. “I hope I’m not going to be required to hop on a bike and chase someone down this time. I’m ready for a nap.”

      “Uh-oh. How are you ever going to stay awake for the play?”

      “Wake me up when it’s over.”

      They took another taxi to the gallery on West Twenty-Fourth Street, and Slade discovered this was Nicole’s preferred method of transportation around the city. Her mother kept a car service on call, but Nicole had confided that she didn’t like the ostentatiousness of it all, even though she seemed comfortable with most of the perks her father’s wealth provided. He supposed she had to draw the line somewhere.

      Fifteen minutes later, they sauntered into the gallery, a small space crammed with sculptures. Nicole saw Andre immediately and elbowed Slade in the ribs.

      They feigned interest in some god-awful piece while Andre talked to a couple. When he was done, they wandered toward him until Nicole planted herself in front of him.

      “Andre Vincent, right?”

      “That’s right.” His smile dimmed a fraction as he looked into Nicole’s eyes. “You’re Lars’s friend. The one he went to Somalia with to make that film.”

      “Did you hear about Lars?”

      “I did, yeah. Shocking news.”

      “Did you see Lars when he was in the city?”

      “I missed him, and now I’m sorry I did.” His gaze shifted to Slade.

      “This is my friend Slade.”

      They shook hands, and as far as Slade could tell, Andre wasn’t lying about not seeing Lars. At least, he hadn’t taken off in a sprint like Dave had.

      Andre stroked his beard. “Was there something you wanted to ask me about Lars?”

      “He left a note for me when he was in New York and gave it to someone to mail to me later.” Nicole lifted her shoulders. “I was just trying to figure out who that was.”

      “You checked with Dave Pullman or that actress, Trudy? I don’t remember her last name, but I think they saw him when he was in town.”

      “We checked with Dave, and we’re on our way to see Trudy Waxman.”

      Andre snapped his fingers. “Waxman, that’s it. Yeah, I’m sorry. That’s crazy Lars would do that. No clue he was even depressed.”

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
