Day of the Dead (2014)
“Ricciardi sighed in annoyance. He didn’t know exactly why that little man was so uncomfortable around him, but the fact that Ponte could never bring himself to look him in the eye irritated Ricciardi in a way that few things could.
“Fine, Ponte. Would you do me a favor and let Maione know? I’d like him to come, too. We’ll meet in Garzo’s office.”
Taking those instructions as a dismissal, Ponte withdrew his head like a tortoise retreating into its shell, shutting the door behind him wit...h unmistakable relief.
Ricciardi was hardly overjoyed to be meeting with “Deputy Chief of Police Dottor Garzo,” as Ponte pompously described him without fail. The commissario considered Garzo to be a fool, and a conceited one. The man cared about nothing but himself and his career, and was incompetent when it came to the challenging job of overseeing multiple investigations. Still, Ricciardi thought, perhaps that position really should be filled by someone like Garzo, who could act as an intermediary between the politicians and agents in the field, like himself.MoreLess
