Chapter 24: The Silence
"Don't answer him yet," I said.
"I have to answer him by Monday."
"Then give me an hour."
I hung up and sat on the edge of the bed.
Elio was awake.
He'd heard every word.
He lay there looking at the stars on my ceiling.
"He's offering me," he said.
"Your business. In return for the gun charge."
"Of course he is." He sat up and hit his head on the shelf over my bed. "He knows I don't testify. He thinks it's still true."
"Is it?"
He rubbed his head and looked at me.
"Give me the phone."
He called the prosecutor from my bedroom in his undershirt.
I listened from the doorway.
"This is Elio Massaro. Tell Brophy's lawyer no deal. You don't need a cop to tell you about my business when I'm coming to tell you about his." He listened. "Yes. Under oath. My own name. Today, if you want."
He hung up and handed me the phone.
"She said thank God," he said. "Then she said she'd never said that to a Massaro before."
