Chapter 36: The Shaved Head
Ilya put the phone down on the nightstand very gently.
"They want you returned," he said. "Like a borrowed car."
"I heard."
"By morning half my brigadiers will want to do it."
I sat up in the dark.
"Then call them to the table," I said. "Eight o'clock. All of them."
"And say what?"
"Nothing. I'll say it."
At eight the long table was full.
A dozen men sat there in their overcoats, smelling of cold and cigarettes.
The shaved-head brigadier sat halfway down on the left.
Beside him sat a young man in a black sweater with the sleeves pulled down to his knuckles.
I'd last seen him by a coal fire in Southie.
He'd told them he was sick yesterday.
Ilya sat at the head.
I stood at the foot of the table in jeans and Galina's slippers, because my feet wouldn't go into anything else.
"Southie wants me back," I said. "Some of you want to give me."
"Before you decide, I'm going to tell you how my husband got shot."
"For a year," I said, "Ilya parked at the ambulance bay at seven every morning I worked. Two coffees. Same spot. Same minute."
