Chapter 25: Microchip
I was out of the car before Tino stopped it.
The back door of the clinic was standing open.
The kennel dogs were barking, every one of them.
Dina came running out of the surgery suite with her earbuds around her neck.
"What? What's wrong?"
"Where's Nonna?"
"Upstairs. She went up at nine. I've been with the shepherd."
I took the back stairs two at a time.
Halfway up, the young man Elio had left on the step was sitting against the wall with his head in his hands.
Blood was running between his fingers.
"Two of them," he said. "From the alley. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
Nonna's door was open.
Her radio was still playing an old Italian station.
Her chair was knocked over.
Her rosary lay on the floor by the stairs, the beads scattered across the landing.
Her cane was gone.
I stood there and couldn't breathe.
Behind me, Elio was already on his phone.
His voice had gone flat and cold, the one from the news photos.
"All of them. Every yard. The warehouse on Train Avenue. Now."
