Gen has arrived and he knows that Al has ensured she’s not a danger to them anymore. If anything, Al is thorough. He knows one wrong move means death. Still, Gen watches Helen to make sure and as he sits on the couch in the spacious living room next to her. Gangi is watching closely, his weapon at the ready. Gen looks at her, “Ok, Helen, tell me what’s going on.”

“I don’t know where Addie got her information, but she’s right. I met with Spadaro last May and was told to do a job on Elsie and yourself in July. I was called by Mitch to arrive in Asheville, and that the job should be done in a day or two and to get ready. I think I landed on the fifteenth or sixteenth of July and stayed near Mitch at an apartment they own. The call came on the eighteenth, from Mitch, and I paid your home a visit, but you were gone. Elsie was there, but she was already dead. I took pictures to prove to Mitch I had done the job and he paid me one million U.S., which is the first installment on the contract.”

Continuing, “While I was in Heritage Hills, and near your home, I was passed by a woman on the street, and she waved and smiled. I’ve been enlisted by Addie to help find that woman, who is either the killer or maybe saw something to help with the case. By the way, Addie’s a real nice person, isn’t she?”

And Gen replies, genuinely, “Yes, she’s a sweetheart. However, Skip tells me she was gonna stuff her bazooka up his butt.” The three of them crack up a little.

“Did you find her like that? Did you find Elsie like that?” Helen asks, sadness giving each word a footprint.

“Yes,” he tells her, remembering.

“I am so sorry,” Helen tells him sorrowfully. “When I found her, my first thought was that no one, no one should die like that. Whoever did that is a monster.”

The three of them pause; it’s almost like they’re saying a silent prayer, and maybe they are. Neither of them breaks the silence for a while.

Gen speaks first. His eyes are baleful, and Helen appreciates his emotional depth. “How much is left on your contract?”

“Nine million.” The two men whistle a little.

Gen and Al look at each other. Gen’s thinking that it could’ve been a hundred million, his reaction would have been the same.

“I’ll pay the remainder of the contract,” he tells her.

Helen nods and cautions him, “As a warning, Spadaro may have another countryman of mine to do the same job. I was threatened with a replacement.” She pauses to let this sink in, then adds, “I’m leaving the country soon. You want me to do the job on Spadaro first?” she asks.

“No, leave him to me. I want to do it myself.”

Then he gives her the marching orders she’s been waiting for, “You do the job on Mitch, and this time make sure it’s painful.
