Diego Learns a Few Things

[Diego Farina]

Last night Gino called me to inform me that he had seen Sal Tommasi at the Four Seasons bar. When Sal left he scribbled something on a tablet at the bar, tore it off, pocketed it and left. Gino was able to rub some charcoal over the tablet and read the indentations. Zasa Pharmaceuticals.

I growled at the name. That confirms what Tammi Hanlin told me the day before, that Sal is messing around with the Zasa family. It looks like he might just be a turncoat that I'll have to deal with.

I still haven't found out who's running D'Amelio Properties, Ltd. and that attack in The Bronx worries me a bit since it indicates there are still Russians over there.

Anne Heche called me just a few minutes ago, giving me the name of the attorney that will be running against her in the fall elections, Emily Addison.  I need to set up a meeting with this woman soon to see what her ambitions really are.

Stowed away in this rat-hole motel in the outskirts of Jersey, just a hop-jump-and-a-skip away from NYC, there is a quick slip of a note under the entrance of my room followed by brisk retreating steps. Sauntering over, I bend down and pick up the tiny envelope and open it to spill out it's content. As my eyes scan the information reported by some hired help, my stomach kurplunks to the floor.

So I'm being linked with Zasa. Nothing surprising there. But I never left anything behind for the Genovese to pick up on anything related to pharmaceuticals...

Is Brother picking up on my scheming? He's becoming more of a threat than I had originally pegged him for. Mama would jump out of her grave and garrote me for this, but it appears I don't have any other alternative. By this time it's probably "shoot to kill" in Diego's mind. I just have to make sure it's Brother before me. Or perhaps I'll let Diego take care of it for me... Still, this doesn't do anything for my safety.

Perhaps it's time for another "convenient" run-in with Tami. I like the girl and she seems trustworthy. Though I do have a woman, Tami's...Well, she's just fun. *Chuckles.* And besides, if I'm reading her right I think she may have a little curiosity for this Tommasi. I gotta hope I'm right because she could be the only thing that keeps Diego from wasting me before I get a chance to bring things to light...But, as the note entails, I'm gonna have to get back into character, as it were, before I make another official appearance...
