Gately shot by the Nucks (p. 618)
Her kimono smells good. Her voice has a Staff-like authority. The scene out here has changed: Gately’s down, Madame Psychosis is in charge.
Context
The veiled woman takes command of the crisis — countermanding ambulance calls, dispatching Erdedy to verbalize at the drunk Security guard — and the narration hands her the radio name to do it under. The veil Gately read at White Flag as "a gesture of shame and concealment, still" here impedes exactly nothing: the most concealed person on the street is the most competent actor on it. (The page cite here wavers by one — p. 617 or p. 618.)
