The appointment with Ms. Leone was set for five-thirty , Serena had spoken directly with her, she was touted as a journalist that he had found something which perhaps belonged to her husband , she wanted to show it to .
We went on a Notarbartolo , the widow of the engineer , lived in the building next to what had been the residence of Judge Falcone , where there is the famous tree in which the people of Palermo still leave messages in memory of the great magistrate. We were well in Palermo , the street is full of shops, busy , one of the streets in the city.
We entered the building , walked in the front door opened there was a large and elegant reception . The goalkeeper after having squared asked us who we were looking for .
- We are journalists of ' Echo of Messina , we came to interview Ms. Leone, we set up an
appointment. -
"The Echo of what? I did not know , I smell trouble " glanced at her that it was all a program, she looked at me amused, as if to say that's strange , I have a little angel .
- A moment - said the keeper , took the intercom waited two minutes. mumbled something and then finally said solemnly - Please , Mrs. awaits , seventh floor inside C. -
To expect the landing we found two elegant women a brunette and a blonde much higher .
- Good evening , sit , are Mrs. Leo . - Said the brunette .
The house was majestic , the entrance was joined at the show by creating a vast environment , all very tastefully decorated , with furniture reminiscent of the eighties , full of sofas carpets , silverware paintings among which are those recognized by Guttuso and tables on which were prepared silver picture frames and various other valuables. In the background a large glass window from which you could dominate the entire road .
- Let me introduce my friend Enza . - Enza shook hands and we sat on the couch. " I'm sick of sofas, and luckily today I had to go for a walk in the open air ."
- So you're ehmmm newspaper of Messina ? - Asked the lady.
- Echo of Messina. - Corrected Serena, the correction was going to burst with laughter.
- Ah, yes, yes, the Eco .. but welcome anything? We were about to take tea. -
- Anna leaves , I'll serve the guests. -
- Thanks Enza . -
So the three of us were left alone, still reflecting on the fact that the lady remembered a newspaper that does not actually exist.
- So how can I help you? -
- Lady - Serena began - and in the meantime I wanted to thank my colleague for his willingness , and even offer her condolences for the tragedy that struck her husband. -
- Yes, my poor husband .. -
- Here we wanted to show her this photo - the girl pulled from the folder containing the photo and handed it to the widow .
- Recognizes her husband in this photo ? - I asked .
The lady looked well - Yes, this is my husband Vincent. As he was young ! but how did you get it? -
- Lady , has given it to a former colleague of her late husband, who perhaps might even recognize in the photo. - Well I told you yet another ball , but now a much more one less , changed little.
- You recognize , the engineer Lo Vecchio and aspects , this seems to be the architect De Felice. The engineer Lo Vecchio was one of the closest friends of my husband, I think that still teach at the university, now I ask Enza . With De Felice instead my husband was not the busiest , but I remember it well , I recognize it as a young man in the picture , do you think if I met him on the street today not even recognize him . The fourth did not know who he is , but maybe he is a former colleague of my husband, when he worked on the railways . -
Serena and I we launched it a look , I knew what he was thinking , " see , I was sure it was him."
- Here's the ! -
- Thank you dear ! - Entered triumphant Mrs. Enza holding up a silver tray with teapot cups of fine china and a saucer full of Danish cookies .
- Enza look at this picture, is my husband with his former colleagues , you see there is also Lo Vecchio . It is not the professor with whom your child must take an exam ? -
Her friend nodded without looking at the photos - Lucio Yes , my son , is preparing a material with the professor . Now I call him so I tell you with certainty . -
She called her son , Cyrus confirmed that The Old taught to engineering Mechanical Systems , and that was a real stinker .
We thanked the two ladies , who were informed if and when we wrote the piece in the newspaper , Ms. Enza begged us not to write that his son had given the carcass to the professor. We assured her of this and promised that as soon as we had written the piece he had published , and there we would have sent two copies of the newspaper one for her and one for her friend. We said goodbye to them and finally we found ourselves in the street.
- Well, now we just have to take the interview in writing and the hope that we approve . - I told Serena - or perhaps the editor are you? -
Serena laughed - But at least admit that I was right, De Felice was one of four photo ! Now you have to understand why he lied to
us ! -
- We must soon return to the photo Tommasini - I said.
Of course things were weird now , because De Felice had lied to us ? who had sent me the anonymous envelope ? who had turned up at my house at three in the morning to get me a fright ? And who had left me that piece of paper under the door ? as he had done Tommasini to track me down ? the questions were many . I reflected , as we walked to the car in silence , Serena had now looked thoughtful , I asked her if she was thinking about the story - No Andrew. I'm thinking of Dominic, I wanted to ask the millionth pleasure , you could give him some lessons in mathematics ? -
- Certainly , with pleasure , are also available every day from six onwards. - I replied.
- Thanks you are a treasure , you're always able to make me quiet . My brother is giving me some thoughts , including soccer, girlfriend , now missing only did that a course of confirmation with his sweetheart . I'm afraid that neglects the study. -
He took my hand and walked up to the car as well . I had to admit that she made me feel good , made me feel important , I began to love his .
