Bruno
Tattaglia
was
an
old
friend
of
his
.
Bruno
had
gone
to
Fordham
with
one
of
his
sons
and
then
Bruno
had
opened
his
nightclub
and
whenever
the
McCluskey
family
spent
an
infrequent
night
on
the
town
,
they
could
enjoy
the
cabaret
with
liquor
and
dinner
--
on
the
house
.
On
New
Year
's
Eve
they
received
engraved
invitations
to
be
guests
of
the
management
and
always
received
one
of
the
best
tables
.
Bruno
always
made
sure
they
were
introduced
to
the
celebrities
who
performed
in
his
club
,
some
of
them
famous
singers
and
Hollywood
stars
.
Of
course
sometimes
he
asked
a
little
favor
,
like
getting
an
employee
with
a
record
cleared
for
a
cabaret
work
license
,
usually
a
pretty
girl
with
a
police
dossier
as
a
hustler
or
roller
.
McCluskey
would
be
glad
to
oblige
.
McCluskey
made
it
a
policy
never
to
show
that
he
understood
what
other
people
were
up
to
.
When
Sollozzo
had
approached
him
with
the
proposition
to
leave
old
man
Corleone
uncovered
in
the
hospital
,
McCluskey
did
n't
ask
why
.
He
asked
price
.
When
Sollozzo
said
ten
grand
,
McCluskey
knew
why
.
He
did
not
hesitate
.
Corleone
was
one
of
the
biggest
Mafia
men
in
the
country
with
more
political
connections
than
Capone
had
ever
had
.
Whoever
knocked
him
off
would
be
doing
the
country
a
big
favor
.
McCluskey
took
the
money
in
advance
and
did
the
job
.
When
he
received
a
call
from
Sollozzo
that
there
were
still
two
of
Corleone
's
men
in
front
of
the
hospital
he
had
flown
into
a
rage
.
He
had
locked
up
all
of
Tessio
's
men
,
he
had
pulled
the
detective
guards
off
the
door
of
Corleone
's
hospital
room
.
And
now
,
being
a
man
of
principle
,
he
would
have
to
give
back
the
ten
grand
,
money
he
had
already
earmarked
to
insure
the
education
of
his
grandchildren
.
It
was
in
that
rage
that
he
had
gone
to
the
hospital
and
struck
Michael
Corleone
.
But
it
had
all
worked
out
for
the
best
.
He
had
met
with
Sollozzo
in
the
Tattaglia
nightclub
and
they
had
made
an
even
better
deal
.
Again
McCluskey
did
n't
ask
questions
,
since
he
knew
all
the
answers
.
He
just
made
sure
of
his
price
.
It
never
occurred
to
him
that
he
himself
could
be
in
any
danger
.
That
anyone
would
consider
even
for
a
moment
killing
a
New
York
City
police
captain
was
too
fantastic
.
The
toughest
hood
in
the
Mafia
had
to
stand
still
if
the
lowliest
patrolman
decided
to
slap
him
around
.
There
was
absolutely
no
percentage
in
killing
cops
.
Because
then
all
of
a
sudden
a
lot
of
hoods
were
killed
resisting
arrest
or
escaping
the
scene
of
a
crime
,
and
who
the
hell
was
going
to
do
anything
about
that
?
McCluskey
sighed
and
got
ready
to
leave
the
station
house
.
Problems
,
always
problems
.
His
wife
's
sister
in
Ireland
had
just
died
after
many
years
of
fighting
cancer
and
that
cancer
had
cost
him
a
pretty
penny
.
Now
the
funeral
would
cost
him
more
.
His
own
uncles
and
aunts
in
the
old
country
needed
a
little
help
now
and
then
to
keep
their
potato
farms
and
he
sent
the
money
to
do
the
trick
.
He
did
n't
begrudge
it
.
And
when
he
and
his
wife
visited
the
old
country
they
were
treated
like
a
king
and
queen
.
Maybe
they
would
go
again
this
summer
now
that
the
war
was
over
and
with
all
this
extra
money
coming
in
.
McCluskey
told
his
patrolman
clerk
where
he
would
be
if
he
was
needed
.
He
did
not
feel
it
necessary
to
take
any
precautions
.
He
could
always
claim
Sollozzo
was
an
informer
he
was
meeting
.
Outside
the
station
house
he
walked
a
few
blocks
and
then
caught
a
cab
to
the
house
where
he
would
meet
with
Sollozzo
.
***
It
was
Tom
Hagen
who
had
to
make
all
the
arrangements
for
Michael
's
leaving
the
country
,
his
false
passport
,
his
seaman
's
card
,
his
berth
on
an
Italian
freighter
that
would
dock
in
a
Sicilian
port
.
Emissaries
were
sent
that
very
day
by
plane
to
Sicily
to
prepare
a
hiding
plate
with
the
Mafia
chief
in
the
hill
country
.
Sonny
arranged
for
a
car
and
an
absolutely
trustworthy
driver
to
be
waiting
for
Michael
when
he
stepped
out
of
the
restaurant
where
the
meeting
would
be
held
with
Sollozzo
.
The
driver
would
be
Tessio
himself
,
who
had
volunteered
for
the
job
.
It
would
be
a
beat-up-looking
car
but
with
a
fine
motor
.
It
would
have
phony
license
plates
and
the
car
itself
would
be
untraceable
.
It
had
been
saved
for
a
special
job
requiring
the
best
.
