if I'm edgy."

"A wiseguy can't afford to get edgy," Giorgio noted. "You know the
saying: If you blow your cool, you're a fool." He paused. "I don't like fools
in my organization."

"It won't happen again," Manzo vowed. "I promise!"

Giorgio glanced at the other trigger man, Ianozzi. "Did you hear that,
Ozzi? He says it won't happen again."

Ozzi's green eyes brightened, his thin lips curling upward. "I heard it,
Boss."

The driver suddenly slammed on the brakes, causing the jeep to lurch
slightly as it abruptly slowed.

Giorgio gripped the dash with his left hand for support. "What the hell
are you doing. Sacks?" he demanded.

Sacks was gripping the black steering wheel tightly, his brown eyes on
the highway ahead, his bulldog visage registering amazement. "Look! Up
ahead!" He began to gradually accelerate.
 Giorgio swiveled and faced front.

Highway 59 was awash with the bright May sunlight. Two hundred
yards distant walked a quartet consisting of two men and two women,
none of whom appeared to be much over 20 years old. One of the women
was a blonde, the other a redhead. The blonde wore blue shorts and a
faded yellow blouse; the redhead was wearing light brown pants and a
green blouse. Both of the men wore jeans. One, the heftier of the pair, also
wore a dark green T-shirt and carried a shotgun; the leaner of the men
had on a brown shirt and was armed with a revolver in a holster on his
right hip. All four were heading to the north, their backs to the
approaching jeeps.

"Do we snuff 'em?" Manzo asked eagerly.

"No," Giorgio replied. "Chill out and let me do the talking."

Alerted by the roar of the jeep motors, the quartet had turned and were
watching the vehicles draw ever nearer. The man with the shotgun hustled
the others to the right side of the road, their expressions conveying their
apprehension.

Giorgio gazed over his left shoulder and out the rear window, spying
the second jeep 25 yards to the rear, the jeep containing three more of his
best soldiersтАФPete, Tommy, and NickyтАФas well as most of their supplies,
their food and water and spare gas.
