“Boating accident. That’s funny. That’s exactly what they tried. But what about the money? Would they just throw away fifty thousand dollars?”
“Fifty thousand is peanuts to them. Of course, they could be planning on getting it out of your wife. I doubt she is safe from all of this.” Frank continued, “They’ll be watching your rented car and the street. It’s too dark back here to see anything, at least with the naked eye. They know that you’ll eventually have to move into the light.”
Sal nodded. “Maybe you’re right. They expect me to hop on the nearest plane and get as far away as I can. Maybe they wouldn’t think to look for me around here, at least not for a while. And my wife’s probably safe as long as I don’t contact her.”
Sal was silent for a moment, as his breath started to regulate.
