What’s With All The Hotties?

The nursing home director, Salvatore Bianchi, arrived back at the facility after having taken a three-hour lunch break. Bianchi was a handsome man in an expensive wool suit who was aging gracefully. He was tall and appeared to be in good shape.

Bianchi was in the company of a young woman who hadn’t yet seen her twentieth birthday. After telling Tanner and Sara that he would be right with them, he kissed the girl goodbye and watched her ass as she walked away. Bianchi’s eyes then traveled over Sara with a lecherous gaze.

Tanner snapped his fingers to gain Bianchi’s attention. Bianchi looked insulted by the gesture and asked Tanner who he was. Once he knew he was there to inquire about a patient who was a relative, he opened the office, then excused himself and took out his phone.

The office was large for its type and richly decorated. The motif was Chinese, and Tanner noted that there were several paintings from a well-known Cantonese artist.

After ending the call, Bianchi settled behind his desk and asked Tanner and Sara to take the two seats in front of it.

“You two are Americans?”

“Yes,” Tanner said.

“You speak Italian well, which is good, my English is atrocious.”

“What about your Chinese?”

Bianchi lit up with surprise and spoke to Tanner in Cantonese by asking him if he understood what he was saying. Tanner answered him in Cantonese and Bianchi was all smiles.

“It’s wonderful to run into someone that can speak a Chinese language. I lived there for eight years when I was younger.”

Tanner had been wondering who Bianchi had called before sitting behind his desk. The answer came when a pair of orderlies entered the room. The scrubs they wore were meant to be baggy and easy to move in, but they appeared a size too small. The men were both bodybuilder types and had full beards. They glared at Tanner menacingly before looking Sara over.

“Where were you?” Bianchi asked the men.

“We were parking the car, boss,” the one on the left said, he was an inch taller than the other man, but looked no brighter.

“I want one of you with me at all times from now on.”

“Yes sir,” both men said.

Bianchi gestured toward the two men. “I’ve been threatened by irate family members in the past. Since then I find it best to have… witnesses present.”

“You mean bodyguards,” Tanner said.

Bianchi cleared his throat, then asked a question. “How can I help you?”

“My uncle Mario is in a ward. I understood that he was paying for a private room.”

Bianchi shook his head. “You’re mistaken. Signore Rossi is here on what we call our budget plan. I can show you the admittance paperwork.”

“Do that,” Tanner said.

Bianchi produced the form within a few minutes, and Tanner saw that Carlo Scallato had been assigned the lower-tier option. He also saw that a law firm was listed as the contact number for next of kin.

Tanner’s respect for Maurice Scallato dipped in regard to the man as a person. What son doesn’t see that his father gets the best of care? And Scallato had to be worth millions.
