Anton awakes to find a message from Sonny requesting a meet at (Bianca’s) bar.
At the bar, Bianca says she is having a group of paediatric doctors in. When they arrive, Anton notices it includes Dr Sharif (suave, average height, slightly grey hair, neat beard) - about a year ago, this doctor got himself in a bit of trouble and the Coterie pulled him out. Larissa was fond of him.
Bianca is spending a lot of time chatting with him.
Sonny says there was a forklift incident and it cracked open a box and he knows there are “space age” weapons in it. He also says that agents claiming to be from Penne & Jones Holdings are asking for the weapons; these agents are apparently dressed similarly to Anton and wearing the same lapel pin.
Anton strictly advises Sonny that the business is not based on a “free exchange of information” and he should be minding the business and not be asking questions. Patch the broken crate and the goods will be moved on shortly.
A short time later, Sonny starts pestering Anton with messages and calls, then Fredo turns up, so Anton travels with him to the docks. Nora’s agent is demanding handover of the cases, so Anton instructs his team to load them out.
As the trucks finish loading and move out, Anton receives a text from Larissa saying she needs help and mentions "maquerade", so Anton gets one of the crew to drive him over...
