Frankie
I pace back and forth in Dad’s office. There’s a sick knot in my throat and
all I can think about is the way Dad’s lifeless body laid unnaturally on
the cold sidewalk outside the restaurant.
I try to pour myself a scotch, but my hands are trembling. I lift my
hands and turn them over. They’re so damn bloody. Taking shaky breaths, I
try to calm my frantic mind. “Frankie,” G’s voice carries through Dad’s
office.

I lift my gaze and vacantly stare at G. “This is Dad’s blood.” I hold my
hands out to G, showing him the dried blood coating my skin.
“Frank.” He cautiously moves toward me. “Come.”
“Wh-where?” My eyes are glued to my bloody hands.
G advances toward me and wraps his arm around my shoulders. “You
need to wash your hands.” G leads me toward the bathroom in Dad’s office.
He flicks on the light then guides me toward the basin. “Here.” G turns the
faucet on and waits.
My hands tremble as I hesitantly place them under the lukewarm water.
“He’s dead,” I whisper.
“Yes, he is,” G confirms in a strong, quiet voice.
The basin reddens with all the blood washing off of my hands. I know I
should cry, but I can’t. I squeeze my eyes closed but that dreadful moment
keeps replaying. “He’s gone.”
“He is.” G’s arms envelop me and I turn to nuzzle into him. I stay in G’s
arms for a long time as I calm my frantic mind.
I pull back and lean against the wall in the bathroom. “This now makes
me the don,” I say.
“It does.”
I nod as I grind my teeth together trying to process what I need to do
next. “Where’s Dad?”
“He’s downstairs in the basement.”
I lift my chin and stare at nothing. “I-I need to call Rome and let him
know.” I’m not even sure I’m processing Dad’s death. What is happening?
“Whatever you need from me, Frank.”
I push off the wall and meet G’s hard eyes. “You’ve always been good
to us.” I hesitantly head back into the office. I sit at the desk where my
father made a lot of his decisions, and stare at my cell for a moment. I dial
Rome’s number and put it on speaker.
He answers nearly immediately. “If it’s not my favorite sister.”
“I’m your only sister,” I say with a voice crack.
“What’s wrong, Frankie? Is everything alright?”
I lean back on the chair and rub at the tension across my forehead.
“Dad’s dead.” There’s a long pause. “Rome?” I check the call is still
connected. “Rome?”
“Dad’s ‒ ” He intakes a sharp breath. “Dad’s dead?”
“Yeah.”
“What happened?”
“We were coming out of the restaurant, and he was shot.” Again, I’m
met with silence. “Did you hear me?”
“I’m processing. When? Who? What?”
“It happened nearly two hours ago. I don’t know who yet.”
“Frankie,” Rome says. “You were there?”
“Yeah.” I swallow the hurt in my throat. “I was walking ahead of him,
and I heard the shot. By the time I turned around, he was already down.”
