UNDRESSED BY THE MAFIA LORD Chapter 439: The Thread
"Then who?""I don't know. Not yet. But I'm going to find out."She was quiet for a time. Her breathing slowed."You're still not telling me everything," she said."No.""Why?""Because you can't stand up yet, and I'd rather you were standing when I do." He pulled back far enough to look at her. "I will tell you. I won't keep it from you for long. I swear that."She searched his face. It was a tired face, an honest one. He hadn't tried to soften what he'd said or dress it up as anything else."Is it dangerous?" she asked. "What you're not telling me?""Not for you.""For you?"He didn't answer."That's what I thought," she said softly.She lay back against the pillow. The window had gone from gray to pale gold. Somewhere outside, a bird started up, thin and clear."The medicine you gave me," she said. "Will I need it again?""Yes. For a while. A doctor will bring you down slowly. Weeks, maybe. Until it's out of you.""And then?""And then you're free of it."She nodded slowly. She was

Dante carried her to the bedroom. He laid her on the bed with her head turned to the side and pulled the blanket up over her shoulders. Then he pulled a chair up beside the bed and sat in it, and put his hand over hers.He did not look away from her face for the next two hours....Luca arrived at one thirty-four.Dante heard the car on the gravel and was at the door before the engine cut. Luca came up the steps fast, a plain black bag in one hand. He stopped when he saw Dante's face."She seized," Dante said.Luca closed his eyes briefly. "How long?""Under two minutes. It's over.""Is she....""She's breathing. She hasn't woken." Dante held out his hand. "Give it to me."Luca gave him the bag. "The drop was clean. A locker at a rail station. Nobody followed me. Nobody saw me.""Did you see who left it?" Dante asked. "No. It was already there." Luca hesitated. "Boss, the bottles. Nothing on them. No label, no seal, no lot number. Whoever packed these knew how to leave nothing.""Yes

"Weight?""I don't know. Light.""Is she able to swallow?""She drinks a little.""Pulse?"Dante crossed the room and knelt beside the couch. He took her wrist and counted against the clock on his phone. "Fast. A hundred and twenty. More.""Her breathing?""Shallow.""Listen to me carefully," the doctor said. "The medicine won't reach her for some hours. Between now and then, there is a real chance she'll have a seizure. If she does, this is what you do. You move anything hard away from her. You put something soft under her head. You turn her onto her side. You put nothing in her mouth. You do not hold her down. And you time it.""Understood." Dante said. "If it runs past five minutes, or comes back, you call an ambulance. I don't care who you are or who is looking for you. Do you understand that?"Dante looked at Isabella's face, gray against the cushion."Yes," he said."Good. I'll stay on the line.""She hasn't had one yet.""I know," the doctor said. "Stay on the line anyway."..

Mike's mouth twitched. "That's cruel.""It's efficient.""It's both." Mike turned back to the screen. "He'll be proud of it. He'll carry it to Dante like a cat with a bird.""And Dante will believe it, because Luca brought it."Mike worked through the next hour with his head down. Dimitri stayed on the line and didn't interrupt him. Once Mike swore under his breath at a registry page that wouldn't load, and Dimitri said, without looking up from his papers, "Try the older archive." Mike tried it, and it worked.Marco rejoined the call a little after nine, Rome time, which made it just past three in the morning in New York. He turned the camera toward a gray case on the desk and opened it.Two plain white cartons lay inside, unmarked.Mike stopped typing and looked at the screen."That's it?" he asked."That's it," Marco said.He took a single pill from one of the cartons and held it up to the camera. Mike leaned close. It was small and white and perfectly ordinary."That's what's been

Marco let that stand. He knew better than to push at it."There's the offer," he said instead."Yes.""Dante said he'd give you The Covenant. Do you trust it?""No," Dimitri said. "I trust what he wants.""Which is?""The girl alive. A man who wants that badly enough will hand over things he can't take back." Dimitri turned from the window. "But I'm not going to take his word for it. When the time comes, I'll ask him something I already know the answer to. If he lies, I stop.""And if he doesn't?""Then I have what I've wanted for a year, from the one man I never expected to give it to me."Marco looked at him for a long moment. "You don't sound pleased.""I'm not," Dimitri said. "I'm useful to myself. It's not the same thing."He sat back down and pulled the phone across the desk."Call Armani," he said....Marco dialed. It rang four times before it was picked up."Pronto?" The doctor's voice was thin and wary."Dottor Armani," Dimitri said. "It's Dimitri Valentino."There was a lon

POV: DIMITRI / MARCODawn came gray over Rome.Dimitri hadn't slept. He stood at the study window with a cup of coffee that had gone cold in his hand, watching the light move across the rooftops, when Marco knocked once and came in."You're up early," Marco said."I haven't been to bed."Marco glanced at the untouched whiskey glass on the desk, then at Dimitri's face. He set the folder he was carrying down beside it. "Something happened.""Dante called me last night."Marco went still. "On the private line?""On the private line.""Someone sold it," Marco said."Someone did. I want to know who by the end of the day." Dimitri turned from the window. "Sit down."Marco sat. Dimitri told him all of it: the four days without a dose, the tremors, the pill with two layers, the clinic that didn't exist, the three changes of delivery address. He told him that Luca had traced the compound as far as it would go and that Dante had finally said the name aloud. He told him what Dante had offered, a
