Chapter 478: Someone Called 911

Massimo turned to his capo who was standing a few feet away. "Get on a flight to New York...Keep an eye on Luca and make sure he does nothing that will hurt the famiglia. Clear and silence every loose end." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Detective Voss!" The voice carried across the street just as Voss stepped out of Scalese Pizza.

He paused at the doorway. Across the road, David stood outside his coffee shop, one hand raised in greeting. Voss gave him a small wave.

David crossed the road, hands tucked into his coat pockets. "Hi!" David said, stopping in front of him. "Been a while."

"Yes. How is the opening going?"

David glanced back at the coffee shop, then at Scalese Pizza, his mouth curving with dry amusement. "I’m not so sure I chose the right location for my business. Being opposite this much crime isn’t going to do me much good."

"My apologies," Voss said, glancing back at the taped-off entrance of Scalese Pizza. "This neighbourhood was relatively safe until the devil moved in."

David chuckled. "I guess you could say that."

A few curious pedestrians slowed down, looked, then hurried along once they saw Voss’s badge.

"So," David added, hands still in his coat pockets, "another death, huh?"

"Not this time. Were you open two days ago?" Voss asked.

"No." David tilted his head. "Why?"

"I thought maybe you could have seen something." Voss nodded toward the coffee shop. "Someone called 911, which means someone was around. You have quite the view from your shop. Your new window looks directly here."

David turned and looked back at his coffee shop as though noticing the obvious for the first time.

The front windows were beautiful, Voss had to admit. Tall, expensive glass. Perfect sightline to Scalese Pizza. Perfect enough to see who entered, who left.

"I wasn’t open," David said. "I came in the next day and heard what had happened."

"From who?"

"A few people on the street. News travels quickly."

"True." Voss pointed at the coffee shop. "You got cameras?"

David smiled faintly. "Not yet. Opening has been delayed, remember?"

"Hmmm..." Voss hummed. "I wonder what more surprises this place will give us."

"I hope there will not be any more," David said. "I have pushed my opening enough already as it is."

"I apologise," Voss said. "I assure you, these streets will be safe again soon."

David smiled. "Thank you, Detective...Well, I wish you well in your investigation. Good luck..."

"Thanks." Voss nodded.

Who?
