"Oh, thank you. What do I owe you?" This is just what I need. Not only do I feel better confirming I owe him nothing, but since Alex said he would cover it, I can bring him up.
And if Alex goes back on his word, me asking is the right thing to do.
"Nothing. Blatt has it covered."
Who is Blatt?
But then it clicks. It is Alex's last name.
"Are you sure?"
"It is all paid up."
"D-do you have Mr. Bl—" Nope, I can't call Alex that. "Alex's number?"
"You don't have it?"
"I did, but I had a phone mishap and lost it. I was wondering if you could give it to me?"
He hesitates, which I don't expect.
"Is there a problem?"
"I can't really just hand out numbers, even if you had it. Protocol, you know?"
Honestly, I don't. But I say, "I do. Well...do you think if I give you permission, you can give him mine? Which he has... Never mind. Do you think, if it is not too big a favor, you could pass a message to him, asking him to contact me, that is...that is, if he would like to?"
"I can do that. And you should have the report. Let me know if there's anything you want to clarify."
When we hang up, I get my beat-up laptop and sit on the sofa.
My pulse throbs as I open the email and then the document.
It seems thorough.
When he was born, where. His mother's name. Lyndall, his sister. His addresses. It even has his college.
His father is connected to the mafia. The whole family seems to be, but I knew that. There aren't any arrests for either his father or Enzo.
In short, there is nothing I can use.
He even did business at college and knows Louie. Usually, according to the report, he helps struggling businesses and often stays in the shadows. Though sometimes, he will step forward.
It doesn't outright say it, but it hints at what he is doing here.
Crap. Maybe there really is no ulterior motive to Enzo.
And perhaps I just let the view of him I got as a girl color who he is now.
There doesn't seem to be a link between his work and his father's.
Then again, would there be? Even a great PI can't spend a few days digging up everything on a mafia family.
I'm not wrong about Enzo. The whole family is bad news.
No matter what this says, it is not the whole story.
Sure, he works in business, but what about everything else he does? The meetings, the fact I don't have access to most of the things a personal assistant would?
