ELEVEN

Just about then Pete texted me. We arranged to meet in the lobby.

Rita had a meeting to go to, but she made us promise to save a day for her. “There’s so much to show you,” she said. “And tell you. About your mom and me, when we were together that summer.”

“I’ll look forward to it,” I said, returning her hug.

The restaurant was still full when we left. I found Pete in the lobby, staring at murals.

I pointed to one. “There’s a crow sitting on that tombstone.”

“Why are you so superstitious about crows?” asked Pete, wrapping a big arm around my shoulders. “A bird can’t predict when something bad is going to happen.”

I looked at Nico and he looked at me.

“Let the poor Irish lad keep his innocence,” said Nico.

We both nodded.

“Ready for a bit of sightseeing?” said Pete.

“You bet!” I said. “I haven’t seen anything except the inside of this hotel yet.”

“And there’s so much!” Nico practically vibrated with excitement. “There’s the Venetian, Caesars Palace—”

“New York-New York,” said Pete. “Flamingo. The Eiffel Tower Restaurant—”

“Golden Nugget in the old town, and don’t forget the Mob Museum,” said Nico.

“They have a Mob Museum?” I shivered. “Not going there, Nico. No way, no how.”

“Afraid of finding your photo on the wall?” Pete laughed at his own joke.

That’s exactly what I was afraid of. After the Lone Rearranger episode in October and my growing rep in The Hammer, it was a distinct possibility. And if not me, then several other people in my family whom Pete had met. But no way was I telling him.

“Let’s get going then!” said Nico.

We linked arms like Dorothy, the Scarecrow and the Tin Man, and went out to follow the yellow brick road. The one lined with Christmas trees.
