Chapter 69

• “Dante,”
• He heard Ben call him and reluctantly turned to him. He waited as Ben came to meet him. He had made up his mind not to like the guy simply because Ugo liked and respected him. But Ben was a good guy, a straightforward kind of guy so Dante was forced to like and admire him. His world was a cut-throat type, so Ben and his kind were refreshing. Through out yesterday evening and today, Ben had proven his worth so he had no choice but to accept him as a prospective friend, Dave too. They were good men and Dante knew they might end up friends if he spent much time in this town as he intended to do.
• “Someone called from the diner, your father is here.”
