Chapter 49

Bobby piped up, “I’ll stay. They did that for me.”

“There should be one from each side. I’m fresh, I just got here.” Giuseppe dared Bobby to gainsay him.

Keith sat back down next to Bobby. “I’ll stay with Bobby.”

Enzo moved his eyes around the room. “I’ll stay with Giuseppe. Cisco, is it possible to get a tour of your hospital? I’d like to see what kind of medical care my money would buy. I donate five million a year to various charities. I could funnel it all to Central Shore if I like what I see.”

Cisco’s eyes turned to dollar signs. “Keith, maybe you and Reggie could come along?”

“We’d be delighted,” Keith said as Bobby kicked his shin. He whispered to Bobby, “Don’t worry, I’ll accept the position and donate as least as much as Enzo. That should make Cisco salivate.”
