Chapter 17: A Girl
I looked at the two of them for a long moment.
Men who'd stood behind Gianluca for twenty years.
Men who'd looked at the floor every time I walked into a room.
"Why?" I said.
The older one glanced at the younger.
"He took an old woman off the street on her way home from the market," the younger one said. "His father would have shot a man for that."
"And?"
The older captain turned his hat around one more time.
"And a man who'll do that to his own wife," he said, "will do it to any of us. We've got wives too."
Ilya hadn't said a word.
He stood a little behind my shoulder with his hands at his sides, and he let me have the whole lobby.
"Then I'm asking," I said. "Not you, and not him. I'm calling the families to sit down. Both houses, and whoever stands for them. And you'll say it there, once, plainly, in front of everybody."
The older one looked at Ilya.
"She's asking you," Ilya said. "Not me."
The captain swallowed.
He put his hat back on.
