When Michael Corleone arrived at his father's house in Long Beach he found
The narrow entrance mouth of the mall blocked off with a link chain. The mall Itself was bright with the floodlights of all eight houses, outlining at least ten cars Parked along the curving cement walk. Two men he didn't know were leaning against the chain. One of them asked in a Brooklyn accent, "Who're you?" He told them. Another man came out of the nearest house and peered at his face. "That's the Don's kid," he said. "I'll bring him inside." Mike followed this Man to his father's house, where two men at the door let him and his escort pass Inside. The house seemed to be full of men he didn't know, until he went into the Living room. There Michael saw Tom Hagen's wife, Theresa, sitting stiffly on the Sofa, smoking a cigarette. On the coffee table in front of her was a glass of
Мультиязыковой проект Ильи Франка www.franklang.ru whiskey. On the other side of the sofa sat the bulky Clemenza. The caporegime's Face was impassive, but he was sweating and the cigar in his hand glistened Slickly black with his saliva. 5 Clemenza came to wring his hand in a consoling way, muttering, "Your mother is at the hospital with your father, he's going to be all right." Paulie Gatto stood Up to shake hands. Michael looked at him curiously. He knew Paulie was his Father's bodyguard but did not know that Paulie had stayed home sick that day. But he sensed tension in the thin dark face. He knew Gatto's reputation as an up- And-coming man, a very quick man who knew how to get delicate jobs done Without complications, and today he had failed in his duty. He noticed several Other men in the corners of the room but he did not recognize them. They were Not of Clemenza's people. Michael put these facts together and understood. Clemenza and Gatto were suspect. Thinking that Paulie had been at the scene, he asked the ferret-faced young man, "How is Freddie? He OK?" 6 "The doctor gave him a shot," Clemenza said. "He's sleeping." Michael went to Hagen's wife and bent down to kiss her cheek. They had always liked each other. He whispered, "Don't worry, Tom will be OK. Have you talked to Sonny yet?" Theresa clung to him for a moment and shook her head. She was a delicate, Very pretty woman, more American than Italian, and very scared. He took her Hand and lifted her off the sofa. Then he led her into his father's corner room Office. Sonny was sprawled out in his chair behind the desk holding a yellow pad in One hand and a pencil in the other. The only other man in the room with him was the caporegime Tessio, whom Michael recognized and immediately realized that it Must be his men who were in the house and forming the new palace guard. He Too had a pencil and pad in his hands. When Sonny saw them he came from behind his desk and took Hagen's wife in his arms. "Don't worry, Theresa," he said. "Tom's OK. They just wanta give him The proposition, they said they'd turn him loose (отпустят). He's not on the Operating end, he's just our lawyer. There's no reason for anybody to do him harm." He released Theresa and then to Michael's surprise he too, got a hug and a kiss on the cheek. He pushed Sonny away and said grinning, "After I get used to

you beating me up I gotta put up with this?" They had often fought when they
Were younger. 12 Sonny shrugged. "Listen, kid, I was worried when I couldn't get ahold of you In that hick town. Not that I gave a crap if they knocked you off, but I didn't like the idea of bringing the news to the old lady. I had to tell her about Pop." 13 "How'd she take it?" Michael asked. 14 "Good," Sonny said. "She's been through it before. Me too. You were too
