Chapter 14: The Underboss
The underboss came to Pier Four at seven the next morning, with two cars and no toothpick.
I watched from the chandler's window while the young man with the burned hand walked down to meet him.
Corrado lay on the bed behind me with two taped ribs and a swollen eye, refusing to be told he was hurt.
The cook's niece had stitched his eyebrow at three in the morning.
He had told her to stop talking, and she hadn't.
"He's alone," the young man called up.
"Two drivers, no guns on show."
"Let him up," I said.
The big man filled the doorway and took in the room: the unmade bed, the yellow boot on the table, Corrado sitting up with a glare.
He took off his hat.
"Miss Sabbadin," he said.
It was the first time anyone from my father's side of the city had said it without a sneer.
"I signed your page last night in front of the Don," he said.
"I won't pretend I knew what it was."
"I knew what I was doing when I signed it."
