Chapter 14

We’re sandwiched in the back seat. Luis is to my left and to the left of him one of the Rigatoni family. I have a Rigatoni to my right so there’s no way we’re getting out of either door. As the limo pulls away from the curb, the guy with the mustache and pock marks sits across from us in a jump seat.

I turn to Luis and say, “Actually, Rigatoni is the plural of Rigatoni.”

“Fascinating,” Luis says. “I get kidnapped and an Italian lesson in the same day. What’s next?”

“Shut up,” the leader says.

His eyes are black and he has bad skin. We could all forgive him the black, lizard eyes, but I know Luis is thinking about what he could do with the skin. “What are you looking at?” he says to Luis.

“You know, we could do something about that,” Luis says.

Luis! I think to myself, Oh my god! Don’t say it.

“About what?” lizard eyes says.

Inside my head I’m screaming, NO! but unfortunately as Luis begins to speak it slips out and I accidently shriek, “NO!” so loud that his words are drowned out. All the little men, and the car is full of them, jump and look at me with their beady eyes wide in shock. Fortunately, it made Luis stop in mid-sentence so no one heard what he was about to say about the guy’s skin.

“What the fuck?” the lizard-eyed leader says. He pulls a long thin knife from his coat pocket.

I smile at him and speak out of the corner of my mouth to Luis, “Ixnay on the inskay!”

The shocked looks give way to puzzlement.

“Sorry,” I say and smile ingratiatingly at the leader and several of the Rigatoni who are staring at me.

“I was just trying to be helpful,” Luis says. He crosses his arms, and sticks his lower lip out in a pout. I know his feelings are hurt, but it’s better his feelings are hurt than his body.

The leader waves the knife at us, “No more... okay?” he asks and glares menacingly.

Luis is staring straight ahead the way he does when he’s angry and clams up so I know he won’t be giving any more cosmetic tips and we might make it to wherever the little creeps are taking us. We leave the downtown Manhattan area and go over several bridges before stopping in an alley behind an old brick building. Trash is flying around and there are palettes stacked by a loading dock. We’re taken out of the car and herded through a side door into a large warehouse. It’s cavernous and empty except for a few chairs, a table, and a fork lift.

“Sit,” the leader says and we sit.

“I’m going to call her,” the leader says to a stocky guy. “Keep an eye on them.”

The leader walks a few yards away and has a muffled conversation into his phone and then he’s back. The stocky guy, who appears to be his right hand man, looks expectantly at him. The leader nods.
