I head back across Zannoni to Faenza.

I’m not three steps into my stride before I feel them in back of me. Two men following me from a distance of about twenty feet. I catch their transparent reflection in a plate-glass window when I stop and pretend to stare into a storefront filled with expensive sweets. The tall, football-player-sized one from last night and a short one who might have also been a part of the threesome who nearly cost me a fingertip. Russian goons, just like the Obamas from the night before. But instead of Obama masks they’re wearing sunglasses. I’m not sure they’d fit in here with Obama masks covering their mugs.

I start walking again, and they start following.

They must have been tailing me when I met up with Abdiesus. If they think I know the location of the flash drive, they will follow me until I lead them to it, and then they will kill me and dump my body into the Arno. Or maybe they have somehow gotten wind of the upcoming meet between the three amigos and the Iranian buyers. I feel a cold wave flash up and down my backbone. My throat constricts and the soreness returns to my gut, like I’ve once more been kicked in the groin. If the Russians are aware of the meeting, they’ll no longer feel the need to keep me alive. They’ll kill me. They’ll torture me for fun and kill me and toss my sad carcass in the river.

They follow, not even pretending to hide themselves, or their faces. Why bother with the Obama masks anymore? They were willing to torture me in order to get what they wanted. My throbbing pinky finger is evidence of that. My premature death nearly a year ago from a senseless beating in an Albany back alley is evidence of that. The surgical staple they plucked out of my side with a bowie knife is evidence of that. And now that it’s likely they know all about the meeting with the Iranians, they will cut to the chase and eliminate me once and for all.

Me walking and the Russian goons following.

We could go on like this all day.

What to do…

I run.
