being childish. I told you we need to talk, face to face! This is important.” Danny insisted.
“We can’t be seen together! You can’t show up like that in my building, I have a career and a reputation, for Christ’s sake! What do you have to tell me, we don’t do business toge…”
“ENZO, LISTEN TO ME!” Danny yelled at him.
For a few seconds, Enzo could hear his own heartbeat and Danny breathing heavily on the phone. He was furious to be yelled at but wasn’t willing to argue with him.
He calmed down and took his time to reply.
“You better have a fucking good reason to talk to me like that, Danny… I might not kick your ass myself but I’ll make sure my dad is…”
Danny interrupted him right away.
“Your father’s dead, Enzo…”
Chapter 8
When Enzo arrived at the reception, Danny and his men were gone. He calmly approached the receptionist.
“ Hi, I’m Enzo Fancelli. You said there was a group of men who wanted to see me?”
The woman seemed confused. “Hello, sir. I don’t know what happened. They were fighting with the security and they suddenly stopped. They left the building maybe two minutes ago.”
Enzo pretended to be surprised and tried to act cool. “Oh really? Well, I guess I’m lucky then…”
“Are you in danger, sir? Do you need us to call the police?” She was obviously in shock and seemed genuinely worried.
Enzo reassured her. “I don’t think it’s going to be necessary, but thank you for your concern. It was probably a mistake. My name is pretty common in our community and I’m sure these men have nothing to do with me. By the way, I’m going out to grab some coffee. Do you want anything?”
Putting on a show and being friendly at that moment was one the most difficult thing Enzo had ever done in his life. He wanted to scream and to run. He wanted to get in his car and race in the streets, while listening to loud music. He wanted to get drunk and hopefully wake up the next morning and realize this was only a bad dream.
But it wasn’t - it was the ugly reality.
He had to look as relaxed and confident as possible, to avoid drawing too much attention on him. He wasn’t sure that lady would buy into it but he had to try anyway.
And it worked.
Enzo and Danny had agreed to meet outside of the building. There was no way Enzo could be seen with him anywhere near the office, but due to the urgency of the situation, there was no other choice.
Danny was waiting near a pickup truck, surrounded by a dozen of men when Enzo arrived. The scene looked unreal – there he was, impeccably dressed in his expensive navy blue suit, meeting with a group of gangsters in a dark and almost empty parking.
When he saw him, Danny opened his arms to hug him. Enzo wasn’t a big fan of hugging other men but that was a tradition in his Italian family and he reluctantly welcomed Danny in his arms.
Enzo kept silent. His gaze was empty, hands in his pockets. He couldn’t believe it was actually happening. He used to complain and criticize his father, but now that the old man was gone, it was a completely different story.
Everything that frustrated him about his dad and all the mistakes he’d made seemed irrelevant to Enzo. All he wanted was to have a second chance to talk with his father again. Life was so fragile… even for the Don of the Famiglia!
Enzo didn’t know what to say or what to do. He was completely lost. It didn’t make sense, but he wished his dad was back in his life to tell him what to do next.
“What happened?” He finally managed to say.
“Giovani was murdered last night… We found his dead body in a dumpster this morning.” Danny replied.
“What about the bodyguards? I know we spend a fortune on security, what is it for?” Enzo was outraged.
“They are missing. We don’t know where they are, or even if they’re still
