Shaun

Over lunch in a local East End Italian restaurant, the conversation turned to Shaun, the only non-Italian member of the gang. Paolo let Tony make the running. He started by explaining why he’d taken Paolo to lunch.

“Quite frankly you’ve earned this Paolo; you’ve been a loyal friend. You have friends among the boys. You probably know ‘em better than me ‘cos you fix all their computers. What do you think of Shaun... honestly?”

“Well thanks Tony. Honestly, I’ve always liked Shaun. He’s different to us, but...OK I guess.”

Paolo wasn’t going to be executioner. Livia could do that!
