Chapter 13: Trattoria Agnese
"Be at the trattoria at eight," Giovanni said. "Bring whatever you need to take a sample."
"In the restaurant? Gio, in front of..."
"In front of everybody."
He hung up.
At seven o'clock, while he was knotting his tie in the hall mirror, his phone buzzed.
The name at the top of the screen was mine again.
Kasia.
"I'm in Florida with a friend. Tell my dad I'm fine. Stop looking."
Giovanni read it.
He stood very still in the mirror.
My father had come to the house at six in his only suit, dark blue, a little tight across the back.
He was sitting on the bench by the door.
Giovanni walked over and held the phone out to him without a word.
My father read it.
His hand closed on his knee.
"She never went to Florida in her life," he said. "She burns in ten minutes."
"I know."
"That woman has her phone. She's got my girl's phone in her purse, right now, typing to me."
"I know," Giovanni said. "Leave it there."
Trattoria Agnese was on Atwells Avenue under the arch.
