With the collar of her trench coat turned up, Andrea stood outside Vios, a Greek restaurant on Nineteenth Avenue. The raindrops on the flat metal awning above competed a bit with her cell phone conversation. “Spencer’s getting gyros to go,” she told Luke. “Did you have dinner yet? Can we order something for you?” Andrea had loathed the idea of Spencer wandering around Capitol Hill alone at night—especially with everything that was happening lately. So when he’d missed his bus and called her, she was all too happy to come pick him up. And she was so relieved to learn that he’d found that Dodgers cap in his school locker. Without any prompting, he’d brought it up soon after climbing into her car at the bus stop. When she’d first found the cap hidden in Spencer’s closet, Andrea couldn’t help imagining the worst. Now there was an explanation. She understood why he’d been reluctant to tell the police about it yesterday. Like him, she’d reached a point in that police interrogation room where she would have said or suppressed anything if it meant getting out of there any sooner.
