“It is, boss.” Sal nods solemnly. “But, for his sacrifice, we are going to be living big. No more fuckery with the Russians. We’ll be making tens of millions off these jobs. Fuck Don Carlo.”
“You’re sure he’s dead.” Donny eyes Sal.
“Unless he can hold his breath for four hours, and can survive the back of a sanitation truck.”
Donny scoffs, then gets up, walking slowly over to Leandro. The two powerful-looking men stare hard at one another. Donny holds out his hand, and Leandro grips it. “We almost lost you out there. If not for your lady, here, we would’ve been in a terrible position.”
“Men and their plans.” Leandro smirks at him.
“She’s a keeper, Hook.”
“Don’t I know it.”
They break the embrace, and Donny nods for Sal to proceed. He drops a suitcase on the top of the desk.
“I was just kidding about taking half, Hook. I don’t need you hunting me next.”
“I know you were,” Leandro says confidently. “I owe the three of you my life. I’m not going to make a poem about it, but it’s something you all should know.”
My chest weakens at his words.
“Don’t mention it, Hook.” Donny waves it away. “My rise to power is paved in bodies that you’ve claimed for me. Even if you won’t accept the ways of the Cosa Nostra, I’ll always consider you an ally.”
Leandro nods curtly at him.
“Two million, as agreed. It’s all there,” Donny says, indicating the suitcase.
“I’ll be spending the first of it right now,” Leandro says. “I need a beat-around car. I’m sure you have something laying around that parking lot downstairs.”
“We can throw something in for you,” Donny replies.
“No GPS,” Leandro growls.
“Of course not.”
Leandro nods.
“Well then, if that’s all, I’m going to get some fucking sleep. Until we meet again.”
“Doubtful, Stallion.”
Donny tilts his head. “A beast like you? I doubt you’ll be able to stay away forever.”
Leandro smirks at that.
“We’ll see.” Leandro shakes their hands, and Sal winks at me on the way out.
What a fucking day.
Chapter 32
Alessia
Two days of walking on eggshells go by. So far, no big stories on the news. We took a trip to buy two used cars and trash the one that Donny gave us. On the way back, we stopped at a diner to see if there were any big stories at the Plaza, anything mob related at all.
Nothing.
Maybe Sal actually cleaned up right.
