"Grandpa i was only trying to make some profit for..." He didn't finish. Pa. Morreti didn't allow him to, his hand cut through the air and slammed to Nathaniel's face. The gritty texture of his fingers imprinted red marks on Nathaniel's face, he stumbled backward two steps, clutched his cheek with one hand and stared at the old man in disbelief and rising anger.

    "And how are you going to do that?" Fred asked him, almost with the tone of impossibility. "You're ex-banker, Kane. Not a cop.

They took the book at the centre of the room and sat down. Alexander was still fuming from the earlier scene that got him embarrassed at the lobby."You looked worked up, Alexander," Claire said, setting down her bag on the table.
