MODESTO AND I were waiting in the hangar when the Gulfstream was wheeled in. “Hi, Luciano,” I said the minute his feet touched the hangar floor. “Ready to go?”
“You bet, Marco.”
“Do you have luggage?”
“Just this overnight bag,” he said.
When we got to the house, I introduced Luciano to Maria Jammalo and started to excuse myself.
“Marco,” Luciano said, “why don’t you sit in on our conversation?”
“Thanks, Luciano, but when you speak for the Conti Group, you speak for me. However, I’ll sit in on part of your meeting if you like; then I have a few urgent matters to discuss with my father.”
“Okay,” he said. “Where shall we go to talk?”
“The den is comfortable. Follow me.”
