Chapter 21: Two Million

I didn't bring the boy.

At eleven-fifty the next morning I sat in the back of a florist's van on Decatur Street with my shirt pulled up.

The agent taped a wire the size of a stick of gum under my ribs.

"It's live the second you leave this van," she said. "We hear everything. Say the word, and we come through the door."

"Encore."

"Encore." She pulled my shirt down and buttoned my denim jacket over it. "And Marin? Don't be brave. Be boring. Let him talk."

"He loves to talk."

"Then let him love it."

Ezio wasn't in the van.

He'd agreed to that too.

He was two blocks down in a car with the man with the cane, and every one of his three loyal capos was on Decatur Street somewhere, eating lunch.

I walked the last block alone.

Green awnings, white tablecloths.

The front of Gaspare's restaurant was closed again.

One of the capos from the sit-down opened the door for me.

The heavy one with the wine stain on his tie.

He didn't meet my eyes.

The dining room was empty except for one table in the middle.
