Antonio paced the gleaming, gray-flecked marble floor of his office. He was furious, ready for battle.

At a knock on his door, two men walked in, caps humbly clutched in grimy hands. As was common in the region, his field hands carried shotguns strapped over their shoulders as they rode noisy Vespas along the back roads. As handy for picking off a few pigeons for dinner as to use for defense of property. The wolves that, at one time, had ravished sheep and goat herds, had been hunted all but to extinction. Only the two-legged variety remained.

“So, how did it happen?” Antonio demanded, speaking in their southern dialect.

Lucio, the senior of the two stepped forward like a soldier facing his general. “We were outside the house in Carovigno. One of the Serilos, Frederico I am sure, came out. I followed him. Gino stayed behind to watch Marco. We didn’t realize he’d given us the slip until you called.”

Then it was him, most probably, Antonio thought. “Have you seen Marco doing anything that might give us a clue what he’s up to?”

“Maybe nothing.” Gino shrugged. “They go to mercato, to their family’s shop down the road, or home. Sometimes to a bar. Nothing mysterious in that.”

“No,” Antonio agreed. “Nowhere else?”

“To the beach twice, the two of them. They prance along the sand in their Speedos, talk to the pretty girls. Sometimes, go off for a while with one. Non importa. The usual.” Gino’s eyes sparkled with shared male satisfaction.

So the Serilos had gotten lucky romantically, Antonio thought. What harm was there in that? It didn’t even hint at sinister intent.

But something told him to remain watchful.

“So, what do we do?” Lucio asked.

“Keep an eye on them a while longer. I want to know why Marco took the trouble to walk a half mile out of town and stand outside my house without talking to anyone.”

A man with a mind to do mischief might create trouble in the groves. Destroy a portion of the crop. Poison trees or soil. Who knew what the idiota had in mind.

He’d tell his field managers to be vigilant.
