Phone calls in rapid succession. The first was from Detective John Phillips, who
Was on the family payroll and had been in the lead car of plainclothesmen at the
scene of the shooting. The first thing he said to Sonny over the phone was, "Do
you recognize my voice?"
2 "Yeah," Sonny said. He was fresh from a nap, called to the phone by his wife.
3 Phillips said quickly without preamble, "Somebody shot your father outside
his place. Fifteen minutes ago. He's alive but hurt bad. They've taken him to
French Hospital. They got your brother Freddie down at the Chelsea precinct. You
better get him a doctor when they turn him loose. I'm going down to the hospital
now to help question your old man, if he can talk. I'll keep you posted."
4 Across the table, Sonny's wife Sandra noticed that her husband's face had
gone red with flushing blood. His eyes were glazed over. She whispered, "What's
the matter?" He waved at her impatiently to shut up, swung his body away so that
his back was toward her and said into the phone, "You sure he's alive?"
5 "Yeah, I'm sure," the detective said. "A lot of blood but I think maybe he's not
as bad as he looks."
6 "Thanks, " Sonny said. "Be home tomorrow morning eight sharp. You got a
grand coming."
