He smiled and then stared back at the bedroom where Vera was sleeping.Īs I was heading out, I heard Nene singing, “Mama, I just killed a man.” His voice was strange, tense and tight. Ask Sapo and see me.” He put the ring in his pocket. He nervously took it from me and read the inscription. “Look, if Vera wants this back,” I said, “you’ll know the truth.” His gaze fell on the ring in my palm. “Have you seen that old burnt-down school building on 100th and First? That shit has been abandoned for years. “Maybe,” I said, but I knew I didn’t mean it. “So, like, you in college and you hate law, so when you graduate you want to be in this?” You know, like the Jews did cuz their kids were like always bein’ discriminated and so they gave a lot of money to private schools that had no ties with any religious groups or anyone and so their kids went to these schools without bein’ scared. “Yeah, well, I was thinkin’ that after this is all over, I should open up a school.

“Did you see that TV special on the Jewish immigrants?” Bodega’s eyes were still locked on the bedroom door. His eyes were focused on the closed bedroom door down the hall. Buy some beach property in San Juan and you and Vera can lie on the sand and watch the world go to hell.” I didn’t think he’d heard me. “Why don’t you just get out?” I said to Bodega. Meet me and Julio down by the schoolyard. “I found out your real name is Julio,” he said as he headed back to the living room and the TV. No one is hurting no one,” Bodega said, and Nene patted me on the back. “Because I like Chino and I would be like sad if I had to hurt him.” “It’s cool, then?” he asked Bodega, not me.
“Come on people now, smile on your brother.” Nene glided into the kitchen with a huge grin. “If she really loved you, Willie, she wouldn’t need any help from you or anyone else,” I hissed back. “You think thass easy to forget? Wha’ you want, her to just say the magic-” “She’s been with this guy for years!” he loudly hissed at me. “If Vera needs family there to support her, then I’m sorry, bee, but you just have to accept that she can’t say it-” “Vera needs support and the more family there the better.” He walked over it again to make sure which one was the culprit and told me to avoid it so Vera wouldn’t wake up. “I think having you and your wife maybe, her sister, too, near Veronica would help.” He began pacing and then realized that one of the parquet panels on the floor creaked. Man, why make things worse by inviting this guy?” You have this neighborhood thinking you’re some sort of goodies bag. You have cops looking around the neighborhood for leads on who killed Salazar. “Look, Willie, you got Fischman, who wants to kill you. He needed to hear it and he wanted it to be said in his backyard, in East Harlem and not in Miami or anyplace else.
It was as if he had forgotten where he stood in the universe and only those words coming from Vera could reorient him to his place in the cosmos. He needed to hear it and wanted others to be there as witnesses. It’s just that she didn’t want to talk about it any longer, she was really tired, thass all.” He seemed to desperately need to hear Vera say that she had never loved her husband. They must have been discussing this all day long. You know she got to feel something for him, but she still loves me and always has.” His eyes looked watery, his face drawn. “See, Chino, she’s a little shaken cuz she’s spent the last twenty years with that guy. He looked at the floor and then, taking a drag, looked to his left and right before exhaling. “Wait, wait, how does Vera feel about this?”
“B’cause Vera needs to tell him”-he lit a cigarette-“that she never loved him.” “Why?” I thought it was a stupid idea, but couldn’t tell him that. “I did.” He sounded as if that was obvious.
