"How long has she been missing?"

Ferraro checked something off screen. "Her last shift was Saturday. Today is Tuesday. Three days minimum."

Three days.

Valeria looked at the table.

Three days ago she had been in the kitchen garden staking tomatoes with Lorenzo. Three days ago Giulia Sartori had already been taken and nobody had known.

"Does her father know?" she said.

"We don't know yet," Ferraro said. "We're trying to reach his protection detail now."

"Don't try," she said. "Go there. In perso

    He came at seven.Not through the gate.Not over the wall.He walked through the front door.She heard Ricci shout first. Then two of his men. Then a sound she had not heard since the night she lay on a rooftop in the rain ... the specific crack of a suppressed weapon fired twice in quick succession.Then silence.Lorenzo was already moving.She was right behind him.They came out of the study into the entrance hall and found Ricci at the front door with blood on his jacket sleeve and his gun drawn and two of his men flanking the doorway."He had a key," Ricci said.She stared at him."A key," she said."Old one," Ricci said. "From before. Someone gave it to him."She didn't ask who. She already knew. Someone who had been inside this house. Someone connected to the estate from before the lockdown. Another name they hadn't found."Where is he?" Lorenzo said."East garden," Ricci said. "He got past the entrance before we caught him. My man fired twice. I don't know if he hit."She pushe

    Three days of quiet.She didn't trust it.She watered the tomatoes every morning and reviewed the shipping venture reports every afternoon and slept properly every night and underneath all of it was the feeling of someone waiting for something bad to arrive.Lorenzo felt it too. He didn't say anything but he checked his phone more than usual and went to the thinking window more than usual and twice she woke in the night to find his side of the bed empty and the light on under the study door.On the third night she didn't follow it.She lay in the dark and thought about Marco's two words.This isn't over Valeria.She had replied yes it is and meant it at the time.She was less sure now.Not because of anything specific. Because three days of nothing from a man like Marco was not peace. It was preparation.She got up at five.Made coffee.Stood at the kitchen window and watched the garden in the early dark.Lorenzo came downstairs at five-fifteen. He saw the two coffees on the counter a

    The customs inspection started at nine.She had arranged it herself. Called the port authority director at seven in the morning. Told him Romano-De Luca Maritime was requesting a voluntary inspection of their primary vessel. Full sweep. Cargo. Hull. Loading equipment.The director had been surprised.Companies didn't request their own inspections.She told him they believed their security had been compromised and they wanted everything documented officially.He said he would have a team there by nine.She thanked him and hung up and made coffee and waited.At nine-fifteen the inspection team found it.Ricci called her while she was still at the kitchen table."They found the package," he said. "Exactly where Marco's man put it. Under the loading ramp. Magnetic attachment. Sixteen kilos of cocaine wrapped in commercial packaging."Sixteen kilos.Enough to destroy the venture completely if found in a routine inspection without context."Did they photograph the location before removing i

    Matteo sent the port security layout at eight that evening.She spread it across the study desk and looked at it properly. He had done more than she asked. Not just the security layout. Vessel positions. Loading schedules. Staff rotations. Access points. Everything a person would need to understand the harbor operation completely.She looked at it for a long time.Then she found it."Here," she said.Lorenzo leaned over her shoulder.She pointed at the layout."The east loading dock," she said. "It's the only point in the whole harbor where the overnight security rotation has a gap. Twelve minutes between the end of one patrol and the start of the next." She looked at him. "Matteo flagged it as something to fix. It's on his improvement list for next month.""Marco's port authority man would know about it," Lorenzo said."Yes," she said. "He works that dock specifically." She looked at the rotation times. "If Marco wants to do something to a vessel or to cargo this is where he does it.

    He heard within the hour.She knew because his lawyer called Caselli at eleven-fifteen demanding a copy of any public statement made by the five families concerning his client. Lawyers only made calls like that when their clients already knew something had happened and needed the paper trail.Caselli called her at eleven-twenty."His lawyer is asking questions," Caselli said."Good," she said. "Let him ask."She was in the kitchen eating lunch when the second call came.Not a lawyer this time.Marco himself.Same unknown number as before.She answered on speaker so Lorenzo could hear."You got five signatures," Marco said."Yes," she said."Impressive," he said. "Fourteen months ago half those men believed I was the wronged party.""Things change," she said."Yes," he said. "They do." A pause. "Can I ask you something?""You can ask," she said."Do you actually believe a piece of paper stops me?" he said. "Five old men signing their names on a document. You think that changes anything

    The restaurant was called Da Enzo.She noticed the name when they pulled up. She didn't say anything about it. She just looked at the sign for a second and walked in.The owner had closed it for the morning. No regular customers. No staff except one man behind the bar who looked like he had been doing this kind of thing for a long time and had learned not to notice things.The five family heads were already there when she arrived.She was three minutes early.They were all earlier.That told her something. They were curious. Curious men came early because they didn't want to miss the beginning.Crippa was at the head of the table eating bread like he had not had breakfast. Mancini was drinking coffee and looking at his phone. The Calabria man whose name was Ferrante was talking quietly to the man beside him. The other two were watching the door.They all looked at her when she walked in.Then they looked at Lorenzo behind her.Then back at her.She pulled out the chair at the head of

    Cosimo Romano was not a man who showed fear.She could see that immediately. The mention of Matteo had landed ... she had watched it land, had seen the still dark eyes go momentarily still in a different way, the way eyes go still when something has touched the one unguarded place. But he had recov
