Chapter 31: The Man Who Did

I didn't wait for Sunday.

I walked out of the kitchen doorway and down the length of the table, past Galina's hand reaching for my sleeve.

I stopped at the empty chair where one of the dead men should have been.

"The man with the torn leg is alive," I said.

"His own belt is on his thigh, with a fork through it. I put it there."

Nobody said anything.

"The woman with the glass in her neck is in surgery. I held it in with napkins until the ambulance came."

I looked at the shaved-head brigadier.

"Where were you?"

"Inside," he said. "Under a table, like a sane man."

"Then you saw me go out the window."

He didn't answer.

I turned to the rest of them.

"You want to give the Irish what they want," I said. "Fine. Nobody has to hand me anywhere."

Ilya's head came up.

"I've walked into that pub alone once," I said.

"I'll walk into Southie on Monday and ask Seamus Conlon his price to his face, in front of his own men."

"If it's me, he can say so out loud."

"You'll do nothing of the kind," Ilya said.
