It was past two o'clock in the morning when Abramo arrived home.

He parked his car in the garage, surrounded by silence.

With a sigh of relief, Abramo sat in the car for a while before opening the door and coming out, came to the gate and took out the key to open the door, making as little noise as possible. Taking off his alcohol-stained coat and throwing it on the couch, and kicking off his shoes, Abramo carefully went upstairs to the bedroom barefoot.

The lights in the house were out, and he quietly opened the door to the bedroom, and through the moonlight outside the window, he saw his wife Connie lying on her side on the bed, with her back to the door, and it seemed that she should be asleep.

Abramo tiptoed into the room to close the door, then slowly moved to the side of the bed, gently lifted the quilt, and sat down on the bed. At this time, he really thought that his bed was too soft, and as soon as he sat on it, he sank into a piece.

Finally lying down, without making any noise, Abramo breathed a long sigh of relief, it is not easy to be the boss.

If it weren't for Arthur tonight, Abramo wouldn't have dared to go to Luciano's restaurant for this feast, but fortunately everything went quite smoothly. He continued to maintain Jackie's trust, and managed to ease relations with the other families, at least on the surface, there would be no more conflicts.

He and Jackie talk a lot at the amusement park, and Arthur is right, the more enemies get closer to him and get to know him. Jackie was a formidable opponent, and without Arthur and his spiritual connection, Abramo thought he wouldn't have had the courage to go against Jackie. Even if he wants to kill himself, at least he can ensure the safety of his wife and children.

Abramo closed his eyes thinking about it, sleepiness hit his head, and he was about to fall asleep when a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Luca, you're back."

It was the voice of his wife Connie, and Abramo's hair stood on end all of a sudden, it turned out that she was not asleep!

With a "snap", the bedside lamp was turned on, and the blinding light forced Abramo to turn his heavy eyelids back on. He frowned, covered his hands and rolled over, and complained, "Connie, sleep Connie, it's so late." ”

Of course, Connie couldn't sleep, and she said angrily, "You also know that it's so late, don't you know to call back?" Let me and the child wait for you at home. Where are you fooling around again? Can't you spend more time with your family? Sometimes I wish someone was always trying to kill you, so you would cherish your time with your family. ”

Some time ago, when Abramo was targeted by the three major families, it was a period when he cared for his family the most.

"Please, don't talk stupid Connie, go to sleep, I'm not going out to fool around, I'm going to talk about business."

"Business, business, who is always talking about business in the early hours of the morning, can't you talk about business during working hours?"

"Hey, you know the nature of my job!"

Abramo knew that he couldn't sleep, so he had to sit up from the bed and explain to his wife. In the past, he did have women outside, but since Vera's death, he has no interest in looking for flowers and willows, and has concentrated on all kinds of family affairs, especially gambling. He came into contact with the cake that Jackie had given him, and he knew he would eat them all one day.

And since Connie went to college, she has only one daughter to accompany her, and she has a lot of energy to spare. Women become sensitive as soon as they are free, and with Connie approaching 40 years old, her temper naturally becomes eccentric, and she is always suspicious of Abramo.

No matter how Abramo explains, Connie can't let go of the answer she wants to hear. But if she heard the answer she wanted to hear, the result would only be worse. In the end, she couldn't help but ask, "Luca, tell me the truth, do you have a woman outside?" ”

Abramo rolled his eyes, he put his arm around Connie and responded in the most sincere voice: "I don't have any other woman, only you, only you!" ”

Connie still had doubts in her eyes, "Then you have a man?" ”

Abramo's brain was about to explode, and he didn't know what to say.

"My daughter said that more than once I saw you with a young man with black hair, and Paula said that he was very handsome!"

After the calf, Abramo understood, he must have been seen by Paula when he saw Arthur. In addition to that Passion Cross, there was another time when Paula was sent to class, and he met Arthur in New Jersey in the car and told him that the police had not found any information about Anna. Hunter searched the database of girls of similar age, and none of them looked like Anna.

"Connie, you're mistaken, he's a business partner of mine, a very, very important friend. You can joke about anything else, but you can't joke about it, Connie, look at me Connie! Abramo didn't want Connie to misunderstand Arthur, so he threw Connie on the shoulder, and his wolf-like eyes were fixed on Connie, "There is a chance to invite him to our house for dinner and meet him, he is a wonderful young man." ”

Connie calmed down and became convinced that her husband was not gay.

Abramo did have the idea of inviting Arthur to his house for dinner, as Jackie seemed to have intentions to get close to Arthur.

"Sleep, it's really not early, sleep." After calming his wife's mood, Abramo turned off the light and lay down to get ready for bed.

"Luca... It's been a long time since you've seen your mom......"

"I've given her money."

"I mean you should visit her."

"I'm not going to see her, don't say God, don't say it again, go to sleep."

……

It was already early in the morning when Russell arrived home, and he was going to send Montolo and Dior back first.

The two fat guys refused to drive themselves, and sat on Russell's Camry, feeling like they were going to squash the tires.

Pull out the key and enter the door, turn on the light, the house is very clean, Flo has been here today. There is a woman in the house who feels really different, neat and clean, and there is a faint fragrance. There was a note pressed on the table, and Flo wrote, there were tortillas and beef in the fridge, remember to eat them or they would spoil.

Opening the door, Anna lay on her back on her newly bought cot, sleeping soundly. She had a lovely face like an angel, but Russell knew that several dogs had died in the neighborhood in the month she had been here. Either hit by a car or drowned in the water.

Even so, seeing her face, Russell felt relieved.

Perhaps, the gravedigger should be with death.

Russell looked at Anna and an idea popped into his head, maybe he should find a woman? So three people living together?

"Women... Woman... Mary, Mary..."The name "Mary" somehow popped into Russell's mind, and he remembered the poem he had read: "...... We stayed at my cousin's house with the Grand Duke when we were young, and he took me out to sledding, and I was scared. He said, Mary, Mary, hold on firmly. Let's go down. In the mountains, where you feel free......"

……

The next morning, Arthur woke up from his sleep and looked at the alarm clock at the bedside, it was already ten o'clock.

I overslept, I wanted to go to work, but since I was destined to be late, I simply didn't go, and Schmidt didn't dare to say anything anyway.

Gina went to school on the subway by herself, and Arthur has been busy with work and other things lately, and may have neglected Gina a little. Gina didn't lose her temper with Arthur like she used to, but obediently did her own thing, but she was suddenly a lot quieter than before.

Arthur thought to himself, Gina came back in the evening to ask her if something had happened, and she had been so troubled for the past two days.

After washing up and eating, Arthur leaves for a trip to New York Harbor to find Dior to get a TV.

He's been waiting for this TV for several weeks, and I heard that it's a Japanese product, Panasonic. The quality of Japanese products in the 90s was quite good, and it was quite uncomfortable to watch without a TV, and there were no mobile phones or computers. The key is that there is the NBA playoffs tonight, the Knicks against the Nets, Arthur wants to see if the Knicks can win the Nets by more than 10 points.

Riding his motorcycle, he arrived at the unloading dock near Hudson Park, where Dior was his home and where a lot of goods had to pass through him. Seeing that good things stay is a common means, and all freight companies know in their hearts that this is a transportation loss and is included in the cost. Otherwise, the gangs will make their costs and losses even more prohibitive, and the Luciano family still has a lot of power in the dock union.

The docks are busy, with trucks coming in and out, containers being picked up and dropped, and goods from all over the world being loaded and unloaded. Arthur met Dio at the checkpoint as he sat in a chaise longue inside, his fat body almost filling the entire chaise longue.

"Hey, it's Arthur, why are you here in person, why don't you call me and I'll deliver what you want to your door." Dio was polite in his mouth, but he lay in his chair and had no intention of getting up at all.

Arthur looked at the dead fat man with a calm face, didn't bother with him, and said, "I'll get the TV, Montolo said there are still a few clothes." ”

Dio stretched out his finger and pointed out the window, and said, "In the warehouse, go get it yourself, if it's not good, you can find someone to help you." I see you're riding a motorcycle, so it's not very convenient. You should buy a car, if not, I can get you one, also made in Japan, hehehehe. ”

The smile on the dead fat man's face was disgusting, this guy obviously didn't understand Arthur's true status in the family, and it seemed that Montolo didn't make it clear to him. Like Schmidt, you will understand when you mess him up one day.

Arthur went to the warehouse, accompanied by one of Dior's men, and took a television and two high-end Italian-made shirts, which were tied to the back seat of the motorcycle with nylon ropes, and looked really chilling. Arthur thought to himself, while the motorcycle is cool, he really needs a car.

"Dior." At parting, Arthur asked the dead fat man, "Are you acquainted with Jackie?" ”

Dio was stunned by Arthur's question, he knotted his tongue a few times, suddenly sat up from his chair, and said, "What do you mean by that?" Watch your mouth, boy. ”

Arthur smiled, got on the motorcycle and left.
