FOURTEEN

When One Door Closes, A Window Opens

“Wait!” I said. “She was my dad’s bodyguard?”

“Yes. The best of the best,” Giuseppe said.

“Obviously, not anymore,” Lisa offered.

“Then why is she here while he’s in Italy?” Jade asked.

Giuseppe raised an eyebrow. “I no can answer that.”

“Holy crap, does this mean what I think it means?’ I said, stunned over the idea that my dad might in fact be here in Sonoma. That man I saw on the street in our little village, could very well have been my long-lost dad.

“You are pushing on a door that should not be opened,” Giuseppe countered, his face taking on a stern demeanor. I’d seen that look before so I knew I shouldn’t press him any further, but I also knew everything I needed to know now.

My dad wasn’t far.

“Angelina is married?” Lisa asked, always knowing when to change the subject.

“She was married, but her husband is gone,” Giuseppe offered.

“Gone?” I asked, hoping he meant that her husband had taken a vacation or they’d gotten a divorce and not that he was floating on the bottom of the Mediterranean wearing cement shoes.

“Now is not the time to discuss these matters,” he said, abruptly ending the conversation. That was two for two.

The conversation along with a very dead body guard was beginning to grate on my nerves. Or maybe it was just the acrid smell of Freon.

“I don’t like how any of this is shaping up,” Lisa groused as she pushed the mini-fridge back into place then stood.

Giuseppe shook his head. “Many of the Pisano family sleep with the worms. However, I think more of them need to eat dirt. The Pisano family can no give up the power, and your papa, he had a woman to do a man’s job. The Pisano family has wanted to bury me and your papa for a long time.”

I could tell by Lisa’s sudden change in stance that she took immediate offence, not to the Pisano family needing to eat more dirt, but to the slight on women. Giuseppe didn’t know what he was in for, tangling with Lisa’s girl power.

“Wait a minute. Are you saying Angelina is dead because she’s a woman?” She pushed a hip out and stuck her hand to it. The accusation did not sit well with her. “Because if you are, let me list about a thousand ways women can outsmart, outhunt and outdo most men. Whoever killed her, did it in the most devious of ways. I have a feeling she was drugged first, that’s why she’s in that bed. And it was probably done by someone she trusted or at least knew. There’s no sign of a struggle, and believe me, a woman like Angelina would have probably put up a damn good fight.”

“This is not the time to debate women’s issues,” I countered. “We have more urgent matters to deal with first.” I turned to Giuseppe. “Was Angelina here to protect you, to protect my father against the Pisano family?”

“I think this was the case.
