Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV, Part V, Part VI, Part VII
A marathon car trip from Austin Texas to Riker’s Island in Queens and a thirty-minute conversation with Marco Bianchi yielded no information. Aside from possibly eliminating the old man as a suspect.
Now, we had nowhere to turn on this situation and nowhere to go, except back home. Each of us alternatively checked in with our significant during the trip back, a string of muted conversations where we all detailed pretty much the same information.
Hours of silence later Roberto proved to all of us he was as good a journalist outside of the ring as he was a boxer in it.
“Mr. James?”
“Henry.”
“Yeah. Henry. Sorry. Let’s say Marco Bianchi was telling the truth. If it’s not him, could it possibly be another member of the family?”
