Frankie checks himself in the reflection of the blacked-out window of the club. He slicks back an unruly lock of his thick black hair, tucks in his shirt and opens the door.
Coming in from the bright sunlight, it takes a moment for his eyes to adjust to the dim interior. His first clear vision is of Jimmy sitting alone at the round card table, drink in hand. He is momentarily jolted as he notices the bloody mess on the table and floor surrounding him.
"Jimmy?... It's me, Frankie Fiore," he says.
Jimmy shades his eyes from the strong sunlight streaming in as Frankie shuts the door.
"Oh yeah, Frankie - Come on in. Sit down," Jimmy says.
Frankie hesitates. "Is this a bad time?" he asks.
Jimmy, realizing Frankie's concern, replies, "What?... Oh no... one of my guys... Max, just had a bloody nose. They took him in the bathroom to clean him up, he'll be OK."
"Ahh," Frankie says, trying to disguise the doubt in his voice.
Jimmy says, "What can I do for you, kid?"
Frankie is taken aback. "I-I thought...I thought you asked me to come see you this afternoon."
