What
followed
then
was
sickening
.
Sonny
began
beating
the
cowering
Carlo
with
his
fists
,
cursing
him
in
a
thick
,
rage-choked
voice
.
Carlo
,
despite
his
tremendous
physique
,
offered
no
resistance
,
gave
no
cry
for
mercy
or
protest
.
Coach
and
Sally
Rags
dared
not
interfere
.
They
thought
Sonny
meant
to
kill
his
brother-in-law
and
had
no
desire
to
share
his
fate
.
The
kids
playing
stickball
gathered
to
curse
the
driver
who
had
made
them
scatter
,
but
now
were
watching
with
awestruck
interest
.
They
were
tough
kids
but
the
sight
of
Sonny
in
his
rage
silenced
them
.
Meanwhile
another
car
had
drawn
up
behind
Sonny
's
and
two
of
his
bodyguards
jumped
out
.
When
they
saw
what
was
happening
they
too
dared
not
interfere
.
They
stood
alert
,
ready
to
protect
their
chief
if
any
bystanders
had
the
stupidity
to
try
to
help
Carlo
.
What
made
the
sight
sickening
was
Carlo
's
complete
subjection
,
but
it
was
perhaps
this
that
saved
his
life
.
He
clung
to
the
iron
railings
with
his
hands
so
that
Sonny
could
not
drag
him
into
the
street
and
despite
his
obvious
equal
strength
,
still
refused
to
fight
back
.
He
let
the
blows
rain
on
his
unprotected
head
and
neck
until
Sonny
's
rage
ebbed
.
Finally
,
his
chest
heaving
,
Sonny
looked
down
at
him
and
said
,
"
You
dirty
bastard
,
you
ever
beat
up
my
sister
again
I
'll
kill
you
.
"
These
words
released
the
tension
.
Because
of
course
,
if
Sonny
intended
to
kill
the
man
he
would
never
have
uttered
the
threat
.
He
uttered
it
in
frustration
because
he
could
not
carry
it
out
.
Carlo
refused
to
look
at
Sonny
.
He
kept
his
head
down
and
his
hands
and
arms
entwined
in
the
iron
railing
.
He
stayed
that
way
until
the
car
roared
off
and
he
heard
Coach
say
in
his
curiously
paternal
voice
,
"
OK
,
Carlo
,
come
on
into
the
store
.
Let
's
get
out
of
sight
.
"
It
was
only
then
that
Carlo
dared
to
get
out
of
his
crouch
against
the
stone
steps
of
the
stoop
and
unlock
his
hands
from
the
railing
.
Standing
up
,
he
could
see
the
kids
look
at
him
with
the
staring
,
sickened
faces
of
people
who
had
witnessed
the
degradation
of
a
fellow
human
being
.
He
was
a
little
dizzy
but
if
was
more
from
shock
,
the
raw
fear
that
had
taken
command
of
his
body
;
he
was
not
badly
hurt
despite
the
shower
of
heavy
blows
.
He
let
Coach
lead
him
by
the
arm
into
the
back
room
of
the
candy
store
and
put
ice
on
his
face
,
which
,
though
it
was
not
cut
or
bleeding
,
was
lumpy
with
swelling
bruises
.
The
fear
was
subsiding
now
and
the
humiliation
he
had
suffered
made
him
sick
to
his
stomach
so
that
he
had
to
throw
up
.
Coach
held
his
head
over
the
sink
,
supported
him
as
if
he
were
drunk
,
then
helped
him
upstairs
to
the
apartment
and
made
him
lie
down
in
one
of
the
bedrooms
.
Carlo
never
noticed
that
Sally
Rags
had
disappeared
.
Sally
Rags
had
walked
down
to
Third
Avenue
and
called
Rocco
Lampone
to
report
what
had
happened
.
Rocco
took
the
news
calmly
and
in
his
turn
called
his
caporegime
,
Pete
Clemenza
.
Clemenza
groaned
and
said
,
"
Oh
,
Christ
,
that
goddamn
Sonny
and
his
temper
,
"
but
his
finger
had
prudently
clicked
down
on
the
hook
so
that
Rocco
never
heard
his
remark
.
Clemenza
called
the
house
in
Long
Beach
and
got
Tom
Hagen
.
Hagen
was
silent
for
a
moment
and
then
he
said
,
"
Send
some
of
your
people
and
cars
out
on
the
road
to
Long
Beach
as
soon
as
you
can
,
just
in
case
Sonny
gets
held
up
by
traffic
or
an
accident
When
he
gets
sore
like
that
he
does
n't
know
what
the
hell
he
's
doing
.
Maybe
some
of
our
friends
on
the
other
side
will
hear
he
was
in
town
.
You
sever
can
tell
.
"
Clemenza
said
doubtfully
,
"
By
the
time
I
could
get
anybody
on
the
road
,
Sonny
will
be
home
.
That
goes
for
the
Tattaglias
too
.
"
"
I
know
,
"
Hagen
said
patiently
.
"
But
if
something
out
of
the
ordinary
happens
,
Sonny
may
be
held
up
.
Do
the
best
you
can
,
Pete
.
"
