Chapter 7 - Leo Follows Victor’s First Call


Victor made three calls within twenty minutes.
One went to an attorney.
One to his driver.
The third went to a prepaid number investigators later linked to the
gunman’s network.
Dominic did not order violence.
He gave the information to the detectives handling the restaurant
shooting through counsel.
Chloe noticed his restraint.
It did not make him innocent.
Dominic Moretti’s world was built around organized crime, fear, and
secrets.
He did not pretend otherwise.
But someone had tried to kill Chloe in a crowded restaurant.
That created a line even he wanted documented.
Then police found another connection.
The gunman had received $40,000 from a shell company listed in Elaine’s
red ledger.
The company had existed for thirteen years.
Its authorized contact:
Victor Rinaldi.
Chloe felt sick.
“Why would he wait twelve years?”
Dominic answered:
“Maybe he wasn’t waiting for your mother.”
He turned a ledger page.
The final entry was dated three days before Elaine entered Massachusetts

General.
Elaine had started investigating again.
