Luigi shook hands with Michael and Colin.
To Michael, he said, “I
… we … don't know how to thank you. You saved Cody's life.
Literally. We will be forever in your gratitude.” Cody didn't
speak, and the tears started trickling down his face and then,
abruptly, he flung himself on Michael and grabbed him in a tight hug.
He held him for a long time, while Michael patted his back and
hugged him. At last, still without speaking, he got into the
passenger side of the car.
“Thank you, both of
you,” repeated Luigi. “We'll be in touch.”
As he drove away, neither
Colin nor Michael waved. Their faces as they watched Luigi and Cody
drive away were sombre.
Just before the little
country road joined the interchange with the freeway, Luigi's phone
rang.
