Lucky Number Slevin Page #7

Whose?

A flop. From Benny's book

Goes by the name of Nick Fisher.

Who is he?

Just a loser.

You just made a lot of money.

And then I was free

to come and go as I pleased

Hm?

Whatever they're paying you...

Oh.

There is nobody.

I did this to you.

Me.

- You.

Me.

Who are you?

Who is he?

Considering he no longer has fingerprints

I'd say it's unlikely we'll ever know.

What about dental records?

Sure find the bottom half of the jaw then all

we need to do is find out who the dentist was.

What a f***ing mess.

Hey Brikowski it's Marty you there?

We found two more bodies

to go along with the two you've already got

All right I'll be right over.

Did you ever get a hold of The Rabbi so he can

get down here and identify what's left of his kid?

Negative

We've been calling for the Iast hour no answer

Send somebody over.

Copy.

You all right? You look a little shook-up.

No I'm fine.

All right.

Yeah.

- Hey Brikowski it's Murphy

Hey Murph what's up?

Harry Kello came by today

You remember Harry?

He retired a few years ago. His wife just died

so he comes in a couple of times a week.

talks shop tells stories to the rooks.

Starts every sentence with "The way

things used to be". Guy living in the past.

Yeah. Yeah what about him?

Guy says he can't complain

then all he does is f***in' complain.

His dead wife the leg he got shot in

his crappy pension

but then he stops when he sees the piccture

Marty snapped of your kid.

Just stares at it.

I say "What is it? You know the kid? "

Thing is he ain't looking at the piccture

but at the name.

I've got it written at the bottom.

He knows that name: Slevin.

I have that same phone.

About an hour Iater the phone rings it's Harry

talking Iike a goddamned machine gun

going on and on about a horse race back in '79.

Aqueduct

Seven horse tenth race - ring a bell?

It was a drug store handicap

Big wind-up around the time The Boss

The Rabbi set up shop in New York

before people started

waking up with knives in their backs

Anyway he goes on about this local legend

about this kid.

His name was Max.

Max placed a bet with a bookie named Roth

Roth laid the bet off.

On you.

And you.

But when The Rabbi and The Boss

find out the fixis in

they are the opposite of happy.

Word comes down an example is to be made.

Aargh!

These guys kill everyone!

And I mean everyone

Max his wife his kid Roth

even the goddamned horse died

These guys went to town with a tomahawk

It was a f***ing massacre.

They had to bring in a specialist to do the kid

cos nobody would take the job

What have you done with my son?

You?

No.

You're dead.

You're dead!

So Harry's going on about how they had to

bring in a specialist to kill the kid

but I ain't seeing the connecction

so I says "What has this to do with the case? "

He says "The horse's name "

I say "What about the horse's name? "

He says the horse's name was

Lucky Number SIevin

What is your name?

- Slevin Kelevra.

Do you remember this part?

Please! I have a family.

Not any more you don't.

Henry!

You f***ing bastards!

You f***ing bastards!

The two of you killed everything I ever loved.

F*** you both.

Now there is no such person as SIevin Kelevra

as far as I can tell

Which means the kid was using a pseudonym

Which is interesting

him picking the name of a dead racehorse

and keeping company

with The Boss and The Rabbi

seeing as they had some involvement

with that very horse.

I thought to myself maybe it means something

Then again maybe it's just a coincidence

name's gotta come from someplace - right?

I guess none of this really matters

now that the kid's gone cold

Ah one more thing

we've got a new guy in the precinct

Jewish fella funny Iittle guy talks a Iot

Anyway in case you're interested

he says the name Kelevra is Hebrew

He says it means

Bad dog.

I used to sign my pay cheques over to him

Brikowski? You there?

Your girl made me

She took my piccture.

She's got to go in the ground.

OK:

I have something I have to tell you.

He told me that we needed to kill you.

You're gonna have to trust me.

Sh*t!

He's going to shoot you here.

I didn't think you'd understand.

I understood.

How did you find out about us?

I'm a world-class assassin fuckhead.

How do you think I found out?

I thought you might want this.

I want to go home.

Neither of us is going home for a long time kid.

My name is Goodkat.

You can call me Mr Goodkat.
