been very good and under the
circumstances you have just described I may be able to release him
in a week; but I’ll need to review his records in detail before
commit…."
    Clay cut the doctor off, “Doctor Levitt, we
don’t have a week. Look at releasing Tony on Friday, two days from
today, if it’s at all possible.”
    “Mr. and Mrs. Giliano, you both understand
even if I agree to an early release I am not advocating it. The
risk to Mr. Giliano will be vastly increased this early in his
recovery. And his release will also depend on where you are
planning to transfer him.”
    “You don’t need to know the location Doc.
When it’s a go, all of Tony’s medical records will be transported
with him; the hospital will not forward them as you usually do.
Tell your staff Mrs. Giliano is meeting with a specialist tomorrow
morning and she will need a copy of Tony’s complete file. Have them
ready for her tomorrow morning. Let Mrs. Giliano know your decision
and any recommendations you have before we leave this morning.
Additionally, when he is released, I want it to be at two o’clock
in the afternoon. Keep all information about his release
confidential or we will most likely be attacked either before or
shortly after we leave here. You are to hold any other paperwork
until after we are gone. Don’t notify admissions of what is
happening, don’t cancel his meals, and don’t make any arrangements
that will give people, even your employees, a hint he is leaving. I
suspect our enemies have spies here in the hospital watching for
any information worth forwarding to the people paying them. We'll
wait here this morning until we hear from you.”
    After Dr. Levitt had left Tony said “The two
detectives finally caught me awake this morning and spent a half
hour asking questions. I cooperated with them, but said I don’t
have a clue as to what happened. I think they know even less about
what’s going on than we know.”
    Dr. Levitt returned later and reluctantly
agreed to have Tony released in two days at two in the
afternoon.
    After leaving the hospital Clay told Anna he
needed to stop by the saloon. He wanted to talk to Joey about
arrangements for the move. He turned to Anna “You were unusually
quiet this morning. Do you disagree with moving Tony this
soon?”
    “No, I agree fully with what you are doing.
In fact, I’m impressed, but not surprised, at how you have taken
charge of the situation. I’m also impressed with the self assurance
you’ve exhibited. I made the right choice.” Anna leaned across the
seat to kiss him on the cheek and smiled. “Thank God you’re here”
she added soberly. At the saloon, Clay drove around the area to
assure himself it was safe to stop and then instructed the guards
in the car following them to take Anna home.
    Inside the bar Clay talked with Mickey and
updated him on Tony’s progress and condition. He motioned to Joey
indicating he wanted to see him upstairs, and led the way.
    “Joey, keep this between you and me for the
time being, no one else needs to be informed until Friday morning.
We’re going to move Tony out of the hospital Friday and there are
several things I want you to round up.” Clay took a sheet of
notebook paper from his shirt pocket, unfolded it and handed it to
Joey. Joey read the list attentively, let out a slow whistle, and
replied “O.K. I’ll have it all done by tomorrow evening.”
    Clay continued “Good, you’ll need to get it
started now, because at one o’clock this afternoon I want you and I
to take a ride into Western Michigan to scope out how we can handle
the people who will surely follow the ambulance. I want your input
on the welcoming committee.
    Friday morning at eight thirty Clay found Dr.
Levitt and made a request. “This morning at eleven thirty Tony will
be taken downstairs by his men to the X-ray department. I need you
to accompany them and provide any authority required. Bring one
floor nurse along, and then keep her distracted
