Santino and I walk down the grand stairway arm in arm. Men run past the front windows. The door swings open as we step onto the marble floor of the front foyer. Carmine bursts in first, then Vito, a bloody hand over his bicep.
âJesus.â I run forward to look at Vitoâs arm.
âWe rooted out the roaches,â he says to Santino.
âIt looks like you did something,â I complain, directing Vito to the nearest chair.
âSent them to a hotel,â Carmine chimes in.
âItâs a motel, stunad,â Vito snaps back, then resists when I try to look at his wound. âDonât worry about that. Just a scrape.â
âCan someone interpret for me?â I pull Vitoâs hand away. A globule of blood bubbles between the shreds of his jacket. I let him cover it again.
âThere were Tabonas at your zio and ziaâs,â Santino says to me, then turns to Carmine. âGone, yes?
âDead as fuck.â
A few other guys burst in. I recognize Remo and Gennaro among them.
âWhere are they then?â I ask, looking out the open door for my aunt and uncle. Theyâre not there.
âThey wouldnât come with us,â Vito reports. âThey donât trust nobody right now. Guglielmoâs still on the porch with a partigiani Beretta.â
âFuck.â Iâm cursing because my zio is being a pain in the ass, but also because the bloodâs started to seep between Vitoâs fingers. I run into the kitchen and look under the sink, praying for a first aid kit.
My prayers are answered. The white metal box is as small as a textbook. I run back to Vito.
Santinoâs barking orders to his men. I only hear they are to âget down there,â and âsecure the block,â before heâs outside, finishing the instructions, leaving me alone with Vito.
I take out the scissors.
âI hope you donât like this jacket too much.â Iâm cutting it before he confirms I can.
The bullet grazed the muscle and left on the other side, missing the cephalic vein. Thank God it isnât inside him. I have no idea how to remove it.
âIs this the only injury?â I ask.
âYeah.â He cringes when I lift his arm to check his side.
âMy uncle always said one day heâd need that Beretta,â I say to distract him, stuffing more gauze under his hand. âItâs been in the basement since forever. Pressure.â
âIt works like new.â
âIâm sure it does.â
âHe didnât want to hurt nobody.â
I scoff. Maybe he didnât. Heâs an uncle by marriage. But Zia Madeline is my fatherâs sister. She probably wants blood, and I wouldnât blame her.
My thoughts are interrupted when Santino storms back in.
âGet back down there and finish the job, Vito.â
âHe isnât going anywhere,â I say distractedly.
âThey ainât coming with me,â Vito protests. âTwo days ago, they opened the door for the neighbor, and Joey and Willie Tabona busted into the house. They been eating their food and watching their TV since.â
âUntil today,â Santino sneers.
âGood thing Carmine and I came slow. Joey and Willie came out to check us over, and the Beretta started popping from upstairs. Gave us a moment to take them downâ¦but now? That door donât open.
