Chapter 27: The Table
By eleven on the fifteenth, Passyunk was shoulder to shoulder.
The Madonna stood on her platform outside the church in blue and gold, pinned all over with dollar bills.
The brass band was tuning on the steps.
I wore my mother's pearls.
Mauro wore a black suit and no tie, and he kept looking at his phone.
At eleven-forty it buzzed.
He showed me the screen.
We have the boy. Rowhouse on Tasker. Pistol in a pastry box.
He took my hand, and we went down into the parish hall basement, which smelled like coffee and folding chairs.
The tables were set in a long U.
Old men from Jersey, from Wilmington, from the Northeast sat around it in good suits with their hats on the table.
Sergio sat at the head in a cream Feast suit with a red carnation in his lapel.
The capo with the pinky ring sat at his right.
Gabriella sat on a folding chair behind him in white, with her hands in her lap.
Every head turned when we came in.
Then they saw who came behind us.
Mrs. Zito, in her church dress.
Annette, whose hair still smelled like smoke.
