There
was
another
laconic
OK
on
the
other
end
and
Clemenza
hung
up
the
phone
.
He
had
already
alerted
his
people
about
replacing
caporegime
Tessio
's
people
in
the
Corleone
mall
so
that
was
done
.
He
had
capable
subordinates
and
never
interfered
in
a
mechanical
operation
of
that
kind
.
He
decided
to
wash
his
Cadillac
.
He
loved
the
car
.
It
gave
him
such
a
quiet
peaceful
ride
,
and
its
upholstery
was
so
rich
that
he
sometimes
sat
in
it
for
an
hour
when
the
weather
was
good
because
it
was
more
pleasant
than
sitting
in
the
house
.
And
it
always
helped
him
think
when
he
was
grooming
the
car
.
He
remembered
his
father
in
Italy
doing
the
same
thing
with
donkeys
.
Clemenza
worked
inside
the
heated
garage
,
he
hated
cold
.
He
ran
over
his
plans
.
You
had
to
be
careful
with
Paulie
,
the
man
was
like
a
rat
,
he
could
smell
danger
.
And
now
of
course
despite
being
so
tough
he
must
be
shitting
in
his
pants
because
the
old
man
was
still
alive
.
He
'd
be
as
skittish
as
a
donkey
with
ants
up
his
ass
.
But
Clemenza
was
accustomed
to
these
circumstances
,
usual
in
his
work
.
First
,
he
had
to
have
a
good
excuse
for
Rocco
to
accompany
them
.
Second
,
he
had
to
have
a
plausible
mission
for
the
three
of
them
to
go
on
.
Of
course
,
strictly
speaking
,
this
was
not
necessary
.
Paulie
Gatto
could
be
killed
without
any
of
these
frills
.
He
was
locked
in
,
he
could
not
run
away
.
But
Clemenza
felt
strongly
that
it
was
important
to
keep
good
working
habits
and
never
give
away
a
fraction
of
a
percentage
point
.
You
never
could
tell
what
might
happen
and
these
matters
were
,
after
all
,
questions
of
life
and
death
.
As
he
washed
his
baby-blue
Cadillac
,
Peter
Clemenza
pondered
and
rehearsed
his
lines
,
the
expressions
of
his
face
.
He
would
be
curt
with
Paulie
,
as
if
displeased
with
him
.
With
a
man
so
sensitive
and
suspicious
as
Gatto
this
would
throw
him
off
the
track
or
at
least
leave
him
uncertain
.
Undue
friendliness
would
make
him
wary
.
But
of
course
the
curtness
must
not
be
too
angry
.
It
had
to
be
rather
an
absentminded
sort
of
irritation
.
And
why
Lampone
?
Paulie
would
find
that
most
alarming
,
especially
since
Lampone
had
to
be
in
the
rear
seat
.
Paulie
would
n't
like
being
helpless
at
the
wheel
with
Lampone
behind
his
head
.
Clemenza
rubbed
and
polished
the
metal
of
his
Cadillac
furiously
.
It
was
going
to
be
tricky
.
Very
tricky
.
For
a
moment
he
debated
whether
to
recruit
another
man
but
decided
against
it
.
Here
he
followed
basic
reasoning
.
In
years
to
come
a
situation
might
arise
where
it
might
be
profitable
for
one
of
his
partners
to
testify
against
him
.
If
there
were
just
one
accomplice
it
was
one
's
word
against
the
other
.
But
the
word
of
a
second
accomplice
could
swing
the
balance
.
No
,
they
would
stick
to
procedure
.
What
annoyed
Clemenza
was
that
the
execution
had
to
be
"
public
.
"
That
is
,
the
body
was
to
be
found
.
He
would
have
much
preferred
having
it
disappear
.
(
Usual
burying
grounds
were
the
nearby
ocean
or
the
swamplands
of
New
Jersey
on
land
owned
by
friends
of
the
Family
or
by
other
more
complicated
methods
.
)
But
it
had
to
be
public
so
that
embryo
traitors
would
be
frightened
and
the
enemy
warned
that
the
Corleone
Family
had
by
no
means
gone
stupid
or
soft
.
Sollozzo
would
be
made
wary
by
this
quick
discovery
of
his
spy
.
The
Corleone
Family
would
win
back
some
of
its
prestige
.
It
had
been
made
to
look
foolish
by
the
shooting
of
the
old
man
.
Clemenza
sighed
.
The
Cadillac
gleamed
like
a
huge
blue
steel
egg
,
and
he
was
nowhere
near
the
solving
of
his
problem
.
Then
the
solution
hit
him
,
logical
and
to
the
point
.
It
would
explain
Rocco
Lampone
,
himself
and
Paulie
being
together
and
give
them
a
mission
of
sufficient
secrecy
and
importance
.
He
would
tell
Paulie
that
their
job
today
was
to
find
an
apartment
in
case
the
Family
decided
to
"
go
to
the
mattresses
.
"
Whenever
a
war
between
the
Families
became
bitterly
intense
,
the
opponents
would
set
up
headquarters
in
secret
apartments
where
the
"
soldiers
"
could
sleep
on
mattresses
scattered
through
the
rooms
.
This
was
not
so
much
to
keep
their
families
out
of
danger
,
their
wives
and
little
children
,
since
any
attack
on
noncombatants
was
undreamed
of
.
All
parties
were
too
vulnerable
to
similar
retaliation
.
But
it
was
always
smarter
to
live
in
some
secret
place
where
your
everyday
movements
could
not
be
charted
either
by
your
opponents
or
by
some
police
who
might
arbitrarily
decide
to
meddle
.
