“So what was it?” Dana asked when he came back two hours later.

“Nothing,” Connor lied.

“Connor,” she said, her face growing sad, “this isn’t going to work out if you just keep lying to me. You don’t spend two hours meeting a henchman who can’t postpone it until tomorrow and talk about nothing. ‘Hey friend, how was the soccer game?’” she said with a deep voice, imitating him. “‘It was great game, comrade.’” Her imitation of Petre was so awful that it made him laugh.

“Okay,” he said, sitting on the small couch with her. “He says the police might be looking into some of Ojacarcu’s business, so we have to be extra careful.”

“Are you in trouble?”

“Of course I am. I’m stuck doing ‘work’ for the guy. I’m locked into a contract, and I’m locked in because of some other shit, like Jera.”

Dana scowled at the woman’s name. They’d never met, but Connor had described Jera enough to make her sure she’d hate the woman.

“I meant are you in trouble right now? Are the cops looking for you? Or looking into what you are doing?”

“No. It has nothing to do with me, or even Petre. But it has something to do with someone else who is connected to all of this. The main point of it is that the police are always interested in what goes on in the background that isn’t legal, but for some reason they are actively interested in someone that is connected.

“If the top of the tower topples, then it could be bad for everyone underneath the boss. But being Romanians, with ties to the old country, the top guys never talk. It’s some code, like the Italian mafia has, except the Romanians and the Hungarians and the Russians, the real gangsters, they never talk. Never.”

“Do you think they’d come after you just because you aren’t one of them? To make sure you couldn’t ever snitch on them?” Dana looked worried.

He draped his arm around around her shoulders and gave a squeeze. “No, they won’t mess with me. I’m small fish, and they know, Ojacarcu does anyway, that if I get any stain on my criminal record, I’ll get deported back to Canada, and I’ll never be able to play organized hockey again. They also know, and this part is true for sure, that I know they’d have me killed if I knew something that could sink them all.

“I’m stuck choosing between losing everything in my life that I care about, like you, hockey, being in America instead of on a frozen plain in the middle of Saskatchewan, and losing all of that plus my life. I know they’d also go after my family as well as anyone here I cared about. Including you. Which is why I want to get the fuck out of here as soon as I can. I want you to go with me.

“I hate living like this, like you’re a secret girlfriend that I can’t let my wife know about. I love you,
