pictures of who gets out of the new Cadillac next Saturday evening,
if the Russians go back to the same restaurant. And get close ups
of everyone entering or leaving their warehouse.”
    The Russians continued to take over Tony’s
business with no resistance. Joey’s people located three men on
guard duty watching the hospital where Tony was interned. One was
in a van watching the main entrance, one in the parking lot outside
the emergency room entrance and another hiding in a small patch of
woods behind the complex watching the service doors and unloading
docks. They continued to follow the Russians who came and went from
their headquarters in the warehouse; the number of cars and drivers
to follow the activity had to be increased to eight. Joey learned
the warehouse was owned by a bank. It had been received after a
company had gone into bankruptcy. The building was rented to a
company called RMT Trucking and Storage. The principal owner of the
company was recorded as a female Russian emigrant named Sophia
Toscovich. Ivanoff Toscovich was listed as the Vice President of
the company and a minority shareholder. He was presumed to be
Sophia’s husband. Through his police contacts, Joey learned Ivanoff
Toscovich had emigrated from Russia to New York City three years
ago and had a long arrest record for extortion, aggravated criminal
assault and murder. There was an open warrant for his arrest in New
York on a two count murder charge.
    Everyday Clay would escort Anna to the
hospital in the morning and again in the early evening. Once there,
he would excuse himself to make another tour of the hospital and
make notes and sketches of notable features he saw. During his
visits to the basement garage he had started turning the switch for
the overhead entrance door to the off position. On one of his tours
he entered the ‘Employees Only Lounge’ and discovered an outside
patio area.
    The employees patio was located forty feet to
the left of the basement service entrance, and above the second
floor level. It had been designed with seclusion of the people
using it in mind; a place where they could relax away from the
stress encountered in their work and not be observed by other
workers or patients. The patio was tucked back in an alcove formed
in the exterior of the building at the service areas where no
windows looked out from any of the four floors above it. The guard
watching from the woods was far enough back and on a hill high
enough to have a clear view of the patio through his
binoculars.

    W ednesday morning Dr.
Levitt stopped in for a visit while Clay and Anna were at Tony’s
bedside. Clay made an inquiry, “When do you feel it will be safe to
move Tony from here?”
    The doctor seemed to be caught off guard and
hesitated a moment before answering, “Well, not for several more
weeks at least. Why?”
    “Because the same people who put him in here
are waiting for a chance to finish what they started; I don’t think
you want an attack to occur in your hospital. As soon as he’s well
enough to travel he needs to be moved; both for his sake and for
the safety of the people who work here.”
    “Do you really think there is a danger of an
attack being carried out, in spite of the men you have posted here
at his room? Surely you are exaggerating! I think we should turn
this over to the police.”
    “No Doc, I’m not exaggerating at all” Clay
replied. “The longer Tony is here the more danger he is in. And
don’t you even think of contacting the police, we’ll take care of
him. I don’t want to rush things, but the day you are confident he
can stand to be moved we need to act. So, what do you think?”
    Tony was awake and added “He’s right Doc, the
sooner I can be moved out of here the better it is for me and your
people. You have to make it happen, even if there’s a high risk to
me.”
    “Well, you’ve caught me unprepared for this.
Offhand I think his recovery has
