critical matters, more important things to do." Lampone made a gesture that said
He would be patient, knowing his reward was certain.
Clemenza went to his den's safe and opened it. He took out a gun and gave it
to Lampone. "Use this one," he said. "They can never trace it. Leave it in the car
With Paulie. When this job is finished I want you to take your wife and children on
A vacation to Florida. Use your own money now and I'll pay you back later. Relax,
Get the sun. Use the Family hotel in Miami Beach so I'll know where I can get you
when I want."
Clemenza's wife knocked on the door of the den to tell them that Paulie Gatto
Had arrived. He was parked in the driveway. Clemenza led the way through the
Garage and Lampone followed him. When Clemenza got into the front seat with
Gatto he merely grunted in greeting, an exasperated look on his face. He looked
At his wrist watch as if he expected to find that Gatto was late.
The ferret-faced button man was watching him intently, looking for a clue. He
flinched a little when Lampone got into the rear seat behind him and said, "Rocco,
sit on the other side. A big guy like you blocks up my rear-view mirror." Lampone
Shifted dutifully so that he was sitting behind Clemenza, as if such a request was
The most natural thing in the world.
24 Clemenza said sourly to Gatto, "Damn that Sonny, he's running scared. He's
Already thinking of going to the mattresses. We have to find a place on the West
Мультиязыковой проект Ильи Франка www.franklang.ru
Side. Paulie, you and Rocco gotta staff and supply it until the word comes down
for the rest of the soldiers to use it. You know a good location?"
As he had expected, Gatto's eyes became greedily interested. Paulie had
Swallowed the bait and because he was thinking how much the information was
Worth to Sollozzo, he was forgetting to think about whether he was in danger.
Also, Lampone was acting his part perfectly, staring out the window in a
Disinterested, relaxed way. Clemenza congratulated himself on his choice.
26 Gatto shrugged. "I'd have to think about it," he said.
27 Clemenza grunted. "Drive while you think, I want to get to New York today."
Paulie was an expert driver and traffic going into the city was light at this time
In the afternoon, so the early winter darkness was just beginning to fall when they
Arrived. There was no small talk in the car. Clemenza directed Paulie to drive up
To the Washington Heights section. He checked a few apartment buildings and
Told him to park near Arthur Avenue and wait. He also left Rocco Lampone in the
Car. He went into the Vera Mario Restaurant and had a light dinner of veal and
Salad, nodding his hello's to some acquaintances. After an hour had gone by he
Walked the several blocks to where the car was parked and entered it. Gatto and
Lampone were still waiting. "Shit," Clemenza said, "they want us back in Long
Beach. They got some other job for us now. Sonny says we can let this one go
until later. Rocco, you live in the city, can we drop you off?"
29 Rocco said quietly, "I have my car out at your place and my old lady needs it
first thing in the morning."
30 "That's right," Clemenza said. "Then you have to come back with us, after
all."
Again on the ride back to Long Beach nothing was said. On the stretch of
road that led into the city, Clemenza said suddenly, "Paulie, pull over, I gotta take
a leak." From working together so long, Gatto knew the fat caporegime had a
Weak bladder. He had often made such a request. Gatto pulled the car off the
Highway onto the soft earth that led to the swamp. Clemenza climbed out of the
Car and took a few steps into the bushes. He actually relieved himself. Then as he
