Mr. Heineman is a smart racket boss in San Francisco. The other mobsters in the city respected him and stayed out of his territory. Heineman was also cultured. He loved music, and loved playing the violin. He treated the men who worked for him well, especially the one named Pascal. Heineman trusted Pascal, because for the past fifteen years, Mr. Heineman has been completely blind. Currently, in Mr. Heineman's top floor apartment, Pascal is looking out of his picture window. Heineman says "Come on, Pascal. Eyes, man. Give me eyes". Pascal says "It's foggy down there, boss. I can't see the bay". Heineman says "What about the street below us? What's going on down there? Pascal says "Nothing. Just street cars and taxis going up and down with a few people. Not very many". Heineman says "Alright, forget it. You can come away from the window. I just have a feeling that something's going to happen". Pascal asks "Happen? What's gonna happen?" Heineman says "I don't know. Something". Just then, the telephone rang. Pascal says "I'll get it, boss. After a few seconds, Pascal says "That was the manager. Your brother's here from Phoenix". Heineman says "Mark? He's downstairs?" Pascal says "Yeah, he's on his way up. The manager couldn't stop him. He says he looks like he's in pretty bad shape" Heineman says "Ever see a desert rat that didn't?" Pascal says "No. I wonder what he wants". Heineman says "Money, as usual. Three or four hundred dollars will finance another six months of prospecting". After a few seconds, Heineman says "I can hear the elevator stopping. Better open the door" Mark staggers to the door and says "Help me". Pascal says "Boss, he's hurt herself. He's weak and trembling. He's holding on to the door frame with his right hand, and holding his chest with the other hand. I think he's been shot, boss". Mark says "Yes, shot. Help me". Pascal helps Mark to the couch. Heineman asks "What happened, Mark?" Mark says "I had to get here. I want you to have it. So he can't". Heineman says "Pascal, get Brian and Daly over here. Brian knows a lot about gunshot wounds. Who shot you Mark?"
