—Tess—

It’d been a few hours since anyone had spoken above the level of a hushed whisper. Elias hadn’t said a thing and neither had I. A few chance words had passed between Agent Henderson and Dr. Geiss. It was under these circumstances that I’d stumbled upon something interesting.

It was a leasing agreement for an address in the West Village—a leasing agreement for Arturo’s that was dated from four months ago signed by one Mr. Paul Cipriano. Finally, I had a reason to break the silence.

“Elias, you might want to have a look at this,” I said softly, turning my laptop screen to face him. Elias looked up at me then leaned down to focus his eyes on the screen.

“What is this?” he asked.

“It’s a lease. For Arturo’s.”

“How did you find this?”

“I was looking through city records for transactions in the last few months. It seemed like it could be relevant, since the abductions only recently started.”

Elias looked over at Dr. Geiss.

“Evelyn, I need you to look up someone by the name of ‘Paul Cipriano.’ Do you need me to spell that last name?”

“No, I got it. Let’s see what we have here,” replied Dr. Geiss, her delicate fingers typing rapid-fire as she queried the database.

We all waited breathlessly on her response.

“OK,” she said. “Looks like he was booked in the late ‘90s for racketeering, but beat the charge in court. Assault charges, those were settled out of court. He’s a known member of the Giordano crime family. That’s all I can find right now.”

“Giordano. Alright, this is our new focus. Let’s find out everything we can about the Giordano family. Evelyn, is there a birthdate on there?” asked Elias.

“June 6, 1958.”

“OK, so that wasn’t Paul Cipriano who confronted us in the deli earlier,” said Elias as he looked at me. “That guy was much younger.”

“So who was he?” I asked.

“No clue. I don’t know if we’ll be able to find anything on him. He might have been Mr. Cipriano’s enforcer. That’s the impression I got anyway. He was pretty built, looked like he could handle himself. Certainly had no problem confronting us.”

“Right,” I said, my hand involuntarily reaching up to my chin as I thought about this. Was Mr. Cipriano in the building when we were in Arturo’s? Or was this other guy acting at his own discretion? Where exactly did they both fit in on the Giordano crime family hierarchy?

“I want to put together a hierarchy of the family. I want to know who’s who in the Giordano family so we can determine who’s giving orders and who’s taking them.”

I reeled backward slightly. Elias looked over at me quickly, noticing my flinch. It was as if he’d read my mind. No, no… it was probably just coincidence. I mean, it was natural to think that pinning down the command structure of the family was the next step. The fact that we’d both thought it at the same time just showed we were both good cops. I sat back down at my computer and got back to work.
