Chapter 19: The Nursery
Mickey didn't take the photos to the detective.
He wanted to.
He sat on the floor of the shop that night with the strip in his hands and almost called the man three times.
"It's a man on a staircase with a book," Vin said quietly, from the other end of the counter.
"It's his own brother's book. His lawyer says he was carrying it to safety. He says your father was waiting for him in the alley."
"So it's nothing."
"It's not nothing. It's not enough."
"What's enough?"
"The ledger," Vin said. "And my father's will. On the walnut, in front of every Family. Nothing else holds him."
Mickey put the photos in his dad's old pocket safe in the floor, which nobody alive but him knows is there.
Then he put the key on a string around his neck.
Shawn went to River Forest, to the room over the garage beside the driver's.
Nonna fed him and didn't speak to him.
On Wednesday Vin spent the whole day trying the little brass key in every lock at Bianchi's.
He came back at six with his coat over his arm and Nonna behind him carrying a pot.
