Synopsis

He took me off the port road at midnight.
The table wants me handed over. He says I'm under his roof.

JUNE

I'm a records clerk. Basement level, Spring Street. I log the number, I verify the number, I forward the envelope.

For seven years I've kept one file of my own: the pages my father wrote for the government, under seal, and the men whose names are in them.

I was on the port road at midnight with a page I shouldn't have had when a second car boxed me in, and a man got out and said unlock it, or Rocco will.

Now my phone is in his safe. My door locks from the hall side at eleven. My face has gone to every station in the port with one instruction: she doesn't leave.

He has one rule in his house. Nobody touches me under his roof.

Including you, I said.

I didn't say that, he said.

I've got a clipboard he didn't take, twenty-one days, and a table of families who want the informant's daughter on a plate.

I'm writing all of it down. And I'm not going to beg.

DARIO

I hold the Romano chair. I don't ask the table's permission for anything, and I didn't ask it for her.

Her father's pages put my people in a federal courtroom. The table wants his daughter delivered as the price of a peace. I took her first, and I put her at the far end of my own table, and she looked at me down twelve feet of it like I was a file she intends to finish.

She's twenty. She's never been touched. She tried the door, the window, and the safe on the first night, and then she wrote down that she'd tried.

I'm not handing her over. I'm not asking anyone's leave to keep her.

I told her I'll not take the rest. I'd like it given.

She'll give it. I can wait.
