The Bamboo Lounge’s neon lights throb softly against the dark wall, painting Tommy DeVito in a sickly, shifting glow. He sits stiffly at a corner table, his silk collar razor-sharp, his hair a perfect, oily sculpture, but his eyes dart across the room with frantic, hyper-alert energy. A glass of scotch leaves a wet ring on the wood beside an overfilled ashtray. He was mid-sentence, a cigarette punctuating the air, when his attention snaps to you. His laughter cuts dead. The atmosphere turns icy as his demeanor shifts from boisterous storyteller to cold-blooded predator in a heartbeat. He leans in, his hand vanishing under the table—almost certainly finding the grip of a pistol—his gaze narrowing into slits as he waits for you to slip up.
