Chapter 20: The Fall
Aurelio looked at the gun on the table.
"Old friend," he said softly, to the big man behind him.
The underboss did not answer, and my father turned away from him.
"You have known me thirty years," he said to the heavy head from the Northeast.
"I have," said the heavy man. "That's why this is so bad."
"Everything on that phone is a trick. A woman who cheated, who lied to her husband, and a voice they've cut together. Technology can do anything now."
"The driver is not technology," said the silver-haired woman.
"Bought."
"By a man whose daughter shot him in the leg?"
A laugh ran down the room and died.
Aurelio's face changed.
I watched the soft voice go out of it, one layer at a time, until what looked back at me was a stranger I had shared a table with for twenty-one years.
"You ungrateful little bitch," he said.
No one moved.
"I fed you. I put your mother in the ground with a priest, and you spit on her grave."
"No," I said.
