Second Stop

June 2, 1984 (New Jersey)

On his flight, Nick smiled to himself as he tried to anticipate the orders that Felicia would have for him. It would be amusing if the hit was on a top member of the Chicago family. How would he collect if he wiped out both of the clients? He smiled to himself as he pondered the situation. After a short period, he came up with a plan on how to collect from all parties.

Upon his arrival to MacArthur airport, he rented a car and drove to the Holiday Inn in Hauppauge, one of the drop-off points Felicia was instructed to use. He stepped out of his car and entered the lobby from a back entrance, which was left open during the day. Making his way toward the front desk, he stopped short when he noticed that a camera had been installed. He immediately turned around and walked out of the Inn to his car and left the area.

“Damn!” he said to himself.

Driving west on the Long Island Expressway he made his way toward Hicksville where there was another drop off point. Forty-five minutes later, he was on the corner of Newbridge Road and West Old Country Road where there was a restaurant called the Breakfast House. He sat down and ordered a chicken salad with some lemonade. As he sat there, he did his usual, and casual, search of the premises. There were no cameras here, and he waited to see if anyone was just hanging around. He did spot a middle-aged man reading a newspaper who seemed to be waiting for someone. Nick watched this man through his dark sunglasses and decided he did not pose a threat. An hour later, he finished his lunch, paid, and left only to return five minutes later to use the restroom. Suddenly there was a huge explosion on the other side of the restaurant. People jumped from their seats, running toward the commotion.

Using the explosion as a distraction, Nick entered the restroom. Only one occupant could use it at any given time, and the entrance was not in plain view of the customers or anyone else in the restaurant. Lastly, there was a wide enough window in the back from which to exit. Nick locked the door behind him, pulled the cover off the trash can. He picked up the plastic garbage bag and extracted the envelope at the bottom, replacing the bag and cover to its original state. He unlocked the door and exited the bathroom via the window, closing it behind him. He then quickly made his way to his car and left the area.

Nick continued west and was in Newark, New Jersey, an hour and half later. Turning in his car as Robert Edwards, he hailed a cab and checked into a nearby motor lodge as Neal Galuchi. Next, he called Jay Messina from a nearby phone booth.

Nick had not contacted Jay since his last job in New York about twenty years ago and was anxious to see how his old buddy was doing.
