Marcella lunged at Mclaughlin. He was sitting there without moving.
Tony placed his hand on her shoulder. Marcella stopped immediately and went back to her seat. Tony came back to his seat.
The entire place went silent.
Tony took a cigar from his pocket and lit it. The sound of the fire catching on the matchstick reverberated in the container. Everything was that silent.
Tony at first didn't realize why she thought that Mclaughlin was responsible for her sister's death. But the last thing she mentioned was the island and he thought that she must have imagined that Mclaughlin killed Mellissa to gain access to the island through Marcella.
But Tony had a feeling that the truth must be different. Whatever Mellissa's feelings were about loaning the island's docks for the international gangs, Andrew would have made her agree to it.
