“Knew you’d amount to something,” Charlie said, patting Derek’s back.


“Well I did. Now all you have to do is figure out who you are.”


“And you didn’t say anything,” Mel grumbled.


Brad chuckled. “He seems to think it’s not important. He didn’t bother to tell me until after we’d, umm, discussed a lot of other things.”

Derek turned red, stuttering out, “What makes you think…?”


“I’m not blind, kid. But right now that’s beside the point. Who are you? Who was your father?”


“Someone you’ve never heard of I’m sure. Francesco Lamberti.”


Charlie glanced at Mel. “Oh we’ve heard of him. He was a small-time racketeer, working for the Scordatos.”
