It's early Sunday evening in New York, and in the swank club 19, a young man named Richie Wayne gazes around the bar with a proprietary interest.
And proprietary is the word for it, for if Richie doesn't exactly own the place, he manages it, which is the next best thing.
You fellas getting everything you want? Yeah, you bet, Richie.
How are things by you? Couldn't be better.
Oh, Joe, take care of my friend.
Excuse me, Mr. Wayne.
What is it, Marty? Mr.
Castell wants to see you.
I can't right now.
I'm busy.
The boss said it was important.
Okay, look after things.
I'll be right back.
Hi, Jack.
Tommy.
How you doing?
Yes?
Hello, Vince.
Oh, uh, come in, Richie.
Thanks.
Marty said you wanted to see me.
Mm-hmm.
I've got bad news for you, kid.
Why? What's the matter? What would you say if I told you that one of my most trusted men had let me down? A man I treated like my own son.
Who? You, Richie.
