“So,” | say, actually relaxed, looking at him from beneath half—lidded eyes. “How did a nice boy like you get mixed up in all of thisorganized crime, anyway? Were you born to it, like me?”
“Nah,” he says, smiling at me indulgently and leaning a Milecloser as well.
Then, to my surprise and pleasure, he begins to tell me his lifestory.
| find myself paying rapt attention to Ivan’s story for the next half hour, sipping on the glass of tequila that the waiter againdelivers, savoring the bite and the taste. He’s actually really, really interesting a totally self-made guy, climbing up through the
ranks with nothing but sheer will, determination, and cleverness.

courted.
But as | listen to Ivan, and let my eyes rove over his muscles and
