Don Salvatore was not a patient man. When his accountants discovered that $10 million had quietly vanished from the family’s offshore accounts over the past three years, he knew exactly who was responsible: Guido, the family’s bookkeeper.
Guido had been hired specifically because he was completely deaf. The logic was simple—a deaf man hears nothing, sees nothing, and therefore has nothing to testify about in court. It had seemed like the perfect solution… until the money started disappearing.
Salvatore decided to handle this personally. He summoned his personal attorney, Marco, who happened to be fluent in sign language, and the two of them drove out to Guido’s modest suburban home. When Guido opened the door and saw the
Godfather standing on his porch flanked by two imposing bodyguards, his face went pale.
They sat down in Guido’s small living room. Salvatore leaned forward, his voice low and dangerous. “Ask him where the money is.”
Marco turned to Guido and began signing with precise, deliberate movements. Where is the ten million dollars?
Guido’s expression remained perfectly calm. He signed back smoothly, his hands moving with practiced ease: I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Marco turned to Salvatore and translated, “He says he doesn’t know what you’re talking about.”
Salvatore’s jaw tightened. He reached into his jacket, pulled out a sleek black pistol, and placed the barrel against Guido’s temple. Guido’s eyes widened in genuine terror.
“Ask him again,” Salvatore growled.
Marco turned back to Guido, his hands moving urgently now. He will kill you if you don’t tell him the truth.
Guido swallowed hard. He looked at the gun, then at Salvatore’s cold, unyielding eyes. He raised his trembling hands and signed: Okay! You win! The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed at my cousin Bruno’s house.
Salvatore lowered the gun slightly and turned to his lawyer. “What did he say?”
Marco adjusted his tie, avoided Guido’s desperate gaze, and replied smoothly:
“He says you don’t have the balls to pull the trigger.”
