[dcs_p]Last night Victor meets his book over at Bob Amante’s place in Deerfield.The guy shows, but he’s got a long face and he’s looking pretty haggard. He pays Victor half of what he owes him. Victor’s book puts out a weekly “card”. Turns out the cops busted him early Monday morning. “Five a.m. and they’re breaking down the door,” he tells Victor. “I’d been up all night, printing the slips. They come in gung ho, like I’m some big time criminal. I’m just a bookmaker trying to survive. And I know for a fact that one of my guys used to take action from one of the cops. He dropped him because he never paid when he lost. So now I’m wondering if this is retribution.”[/dcs_p][dcs_p]Patricia Bellomo is the author of the crime thrillers Louie Morelli’s Daughter and Stella di Mare.  She writes about millionaires and mobsters in South FLorida and New Orleans.
