Cole tells him at breakfast. Not me. Cole. I am not there when it happens. I am on the platform running basics at seven and I do not know about the breakfast conversation until after the morning session when Cole finds me at the equipment rack with the expression of someone who has done something and is not certain it was the right thing and is going to tell me about it anyway. He says: I told Zane about the coffee. I say: Cole. He says: he needed to know. I say: why. He says: because Zane has been conducting himself like a man with a claim since the third morning and he needed to understand what that claim is up against. He says it simply. Honestly. He says: Theo Reeves brought him a coffee at three thirty in the morning after seeing them together. He pauses. That is information Z
