He
was
put
in
the
Clemenza
regime
and
tested
carefully
by
that
masterful
personnel
man
.
Certain
precautions
had
to
be
taken
.
He
had
,
after
all
,
once
been
a
policeman
.
But
Neri
's
natural
ferocity
overcame
whatever
scruples
he
might
have
had
at
being
on
the
other
side
of
the
fence
.
In
less
than
a
year
he
had
"
made
his
bones
.
"
He
could
never
turn
back
.
Clemenza
sang
his
praises
.
Neri
was
a
wonder
,
the
new
Luca
Brasi
.
He
would
be
better
than
Luca
,
Clemenza
bragged
.
After
all
,
Neri
was
his
discovery
.
Physically
the
man
was
a
marvel
.
His
reflexes
and
coordination
such
that
he
could
have
been
another
Joe
DiMaggio
.
Clemenza
also
knew
that
Neri
was
not
a
man
to
be
controlled
by
someone
like
himself
.
Neri
was
made
directly
responsible
to
Michael
Corleone
,
with
Tom
Hagen
as
the
necessary
buffer
.
He
was
a
"
special
"
and
as
such
commanded
a
high
salary
but
did
not
have
his
own
living
,
a
bookmaking
or
strong-arm
operation
.
It
was
obvious
that
his
respect
for
Michael
Corleone
was
enormous
and
one
day
Hagen
said
jokingly
to
Michael
,
"
Well
now
you
've
got
your
Luca
.
"
Michael
nodded
.
He
had
brought
it
off
.
Albert
Neri
was
his
man
to
the
death
.
And
of
course
it
was
a
trick
learned
from
the
Don
himself
.
While
learning
the
business
,
undergoing
the
long
days
of
tutelage
by
his
father
,
Michael
had
one
time
asked
,
"
How
come
you
used
a
guy
like
Luca
Brasi
?
An
animal
like
that
?
"
The
Don
had
proceeded
to
instruct
him
.
"
There
are
men
in
this
world
,
"
he
said
,
"
who
go
about
demanding
to
be
killed
.
You
must
have
noticed
them
.
They
quarrel
in
gambling
games
,
they
jump
out
of
their
automobiles
in
a
rage
if
someone
so
much
as
scratches
their
fender
,
they
humiliate
and
bully
people
whose
capabilities
they
do
not
know
.
I
have
seen
a
man
,
a
fool
,
deliberately
infuriate
a
group
of
dangerous
men
,
and
he
himself
without
any
resources
.
These
are
people
who
wander
through
the
world
shouting
,
'
Kill
me
.
Kill
me
.
'
And
there
is
always
somebody
ready
to
oblige
them
.
We
read
about
it
in
the
newspapers
every
day
.
Such
people
of
course
do
a
great
deal
of
harm
to
others
also
.
"
Luca
Brasi
was
such
a
man
.
But
he
was
such
an
extraordinary
man
that
for
a
long
time
nobody
could
kill
him
.
Most
of
these
people
are
of
no
concern
to
ourselves
but
a
Brasi
is
a
powerful
weapon
to
be
used
The
trick
is
that
since
he
does
not
fear
death
and
indeed
looks
for
it
,
then
the
trick
is
to
make
yourself
the
only
person
in
the
world
that
he
truly
desires
not
to
kill
him
.
He
has
only
that
one
fear
,
not
of
death
,
but
that
you
may
be
the
one
to
kill
him
.
He
is
yours
then
.
"
It
was
one
of
the
most
valuable
lessons
given
by
the
Don
before
he
died
,
and
Michael
had
used
it
to
make
Neri
his
Luca
Brasi
.
And
now
,
finally
,
Albert
Neri
,
alone
in
his
Bronx
apartment
,
was
going
to
put
on
his
police
uniform
again
.
He
brushed
it
carefully
.
Polishing
the
holster
would
be
next
.
And
his
policeman
's
cap
too
,
the
visor
had
to
be
cleaned
,
the
stout
black
shoes
shined
.
Neri
worked
with
a
will
.
He
had
found
his
place
in
the
world
,
Michael
Corelone
had
placed
his
absolute
trust
in
him
,
and
today
he
would
not
fail
that
trust
.
On
that
same
day
two
limousines
parked
on
the
Long
Beach
mall
.
One
of
the
big
cars
waited
to
take
Connie
Corleone
,
her
mother
,
her
husband
and
her
two
children
to
the
airport
.
The
Carlo
Rizzi
family
was
to
take
a
vacation
in
Las
Vegas
in
preparation
for
their
permanent
move
to
that
city
.
Michael
had
given
Carlo
the
order
,
over
Connie
's
protests
.
Michael
had
not
bothered
to
explain
that
he
wanted
everyone
out
of
the
mall
before
the
Corleone-Barzini
Families
'
meeting
.
Indeed
the
meeting
itself
was
top
secret
.
The
only
ones
who
knew
about
it
were
the
capos
of
the
Family
.
