End of Chapter # 32

"What I am going to tell you now is for your ears only. For reasons, which I do not want to go into now, the United States owes Israel a big favor. They allowed Fazzi to live as long as he did. There were literally hundreds of times they could have killed the both of you, but at our request they held off. This last time we had to inform them about you. They realized that with you as his 'son', he was worth more to us alive then dead. His housekeeper was and is one of their top agents. They have been tracking him for over fifteen years.

"Ok, are you coming home tonight?" Joseph asked, still feeling the hostility in Richard's voice.

“No, we are having a late night rehearsal. Tomorrow we are going out of town for the try-outs and we are working our tails to the bone in order to get ready for our New York opening. If all goes well we will open next month.” Rich said. “I think that's why I'm so edgy lately. I'm nervous and I'm taking it out on you.”

"That's what I'm here for, lover. Do you want me to come up to be there with you for the try-out?” Joseph said trying to smooth over the situation.
