Chapter 21 Summary

Several weeks later, Mitch goes home early and finds a manilla envelope with Abby’s name on it with the mail. Worried that DeVasher went through with his threat, Mitch rushes upstairs to speak to Abby only to discover the envelope had been empty and she is none the wiser about his mistake in the Cayman Islands. They slip outside where they can talk more openly, and Abby tells Mitch that he got a letter from Doris saying she is back in Memphis.

DeVasher tells Nathan that Lou is concerned that Mitch is lying about the FBI and that they should get rid of him. Nathan is unhappy with the idea of killing another of their employees. DeVasher also tells Nathan that Lou wants the firm to fire all the associates who do not know about their illegal activities, a group of four lawyers. Nathan resists the idea, but DeVasher makes it clear it is not an option. Finally, DeVasher tells Nathan that they are going to have someone break into Mitch’s home and replace Abby’s birth control with placebos so that she will get pregnant, giving them more leverage over Mitch.
