Chapter 20: The Fake Label
The captains' wives were screaming.
Two of them knelt by Silvia in the spreading red. One was pressing a napkin from the cake table against her skirt.
I moved toward her without thinking. I'd done first aid at my counter a hundred times.
"Keep her away from me!" Silvia shrieked. "Keep her away from my baby!"
Two captains stepped in front of me, shoulder to shoulder.
Davide already had his phone out.
He wasn't calling an ambulance.
"Yes, officer," he was saying, calmly, over the screaming. "Union Street. A poisoning. We know who did it. She's still here."
The door banged open behind me.
Leandro filled it.
Every man in the club put a hand inside his jacket.
"Don't," I said to all of them at once. "Nobody. Not here."
Leandro took one look at the floor and didn't come any further.
The ambulance came first, then four police cars.
They put Silvia on a stretcher, still holding the bottle.
An officer took it out of her hand with a glove and sealed it in a plastic bag.
