In that book which is my memory,
on the first page of the chapter that is the day when I first met you, appear
the words,
“Here begins a new life.”
– Dante, La Vita Nuova
NERO
Three days after we leave the bodies in New York, Sandro and I cross the
border into Missouri.
“You been to the Ozarks before?” the kid asks, his hands relaxed on the
wheel and his voice chipper enough to make me think he’s forgotten how
we ended up here. “I’ve heard it’s beautiful.”
Outside the car window is a sea of green. July in southern Missouri looks
like nature threw up all over the winding roads, the canopy lush and
overflowing. Every now and then, the midday sun reflects off a river hidden
somewhere in the valleys. When I roll down the window, I can hear it
gurgling.
“I’m more of a big-city guy.” I prop my elbow on the window ledge and
drag my closed fist over my lips.
Places like this are too quiet. They make my thoughts too loud.
I’ve always been a gangster. My stepdad was a gangster. My mom came
from a long line of gangsters. If there’s a gene for crime, there’s no doubt
I’ve got it.
Imagine a truck stopped on the side of the road with a flat tire, the driver
trying to get enough signal to call Triple-A.
You see a man in need.
I see an opportunity.
I see crates of merchandise inside the aluminum body. I see the empty
stretch of road where other drivers know better than to stop after dark. I see
the bags under the driver’s eyes and know he won’t put up a fight.
