"I will."
Bosch left him there, still standing and maybe a little
haunted by the voices. Like himself. Bosch thought that maybe
for the first time he had actually connected on some level with
the man at the top. In the military it is said that you go into
battle and fight and are willing to die for the men who sent
you. Bosch never felt that when he was moving through the
darkness of the tunnels in Vietnam. He had felt alone and that
he was fighting for himself, fighting to stay alive. That had
carried with him into the department and he had at times
adopted the view that he was fighting in spite of the
men at the top. Now maybe things would be different.
In the hallway he punched the elevator button harder than he
needed to. He had too much excitement and energy and he
understood this. The chorus of forgotten voices. The chief
seemed to know the song they were singing. And Bosch certainly
did, too. Most of his life had been spent listening to that
song.
