“My friends were already in deep conversation when I got to the table. I bumped Claire down the banquette and ordered a beer. “What’d I miss?” I asked. “I wish to God you could have been in court today, Lindsay,” Yuki said, her face animated, truly alive for the first time since her mother had died. “Garza blew himself up,” she said. “Spectacularly.” “I want to hear everything. Don’t skip a word.” Yuki had been drinking, for sure. She took me literally, impersonating both O’Mara and Garza, repeating their words verbatim. Cindy jumped in, the two overtalking each other, until Claire and I simply cracked up. Cindy plowed ahead. “Thing is — no, really, you guys! All he had to say was ‘Nooooo. I had nothing to do with those patients’ deaths.’” “Instead, he takes the Fifth!” said Yuki, slapping the table. She was glowering but elated. “What a jerk, stepping on his dick like that.” “If you ask me, his conscience made him do it,” Cindy added. “The more I dig into Garza’s past, the more I find... out what kinda bum he is.”MoreLessShow More Show Less
