An old, white pickup was barreling toward them. The glare on the windshield obscured the driver.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDanilo said, \"Is Poirier coming to the wedding?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe stopped, and Danilo turned round to face him. \"If he is invited, Ochoa, which I assume he is.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDanilo smiled. \"I'm not sure that is....\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhatever Danilo was going to say was lost in the roar of the pickup truck which was almost upon them. It swerved onto the broad sidewalk heading straight for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDanilo was just standing there. He grabbed Danilo's arm and dove toward the grass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere was a thump and Danilo may have grunted amid all the engine roaring and tire squealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe rolled over and watched the truck swerve back onto the street and into the oncoming traffic. A blue SUV had no where to go, and the pickup slammed into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was a glancing blow, and they scraped past each other. The rear fender of the SUV was ripped off; the pickup dragged it for half a block before it was dislodged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pickup kept going, accelerating through a red light and speeding north.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt had Delaware tags, and he thought he had the number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe looked at Danilo. He was shaken and confused, and his glasses had been knocked off. They were lying on the grass, and Danilo tried to roll onto his knees to reach for them, but he screamed and grabbed his left leg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"What is it?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDanilo glared at him. \"My leg is broken, Bergeron.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Are you sure?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe snarled. \"Yes \" And he may have said other words...hurtful words about the intelligence and perspicacity of Gabriel Bergeron.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo getting the marriage license hadn't gone off without a small blip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomeone wanted Danilo dead. His bride to be, Ezmeralda Gutierrez, wasn't trying to kill him...probably not. They seemed happy, and Ezmeralda was not one to hide her feelings. But Danilo had enemies lurking everywhere. And that didn't count Ezmeralda's brother or his own relatives or Rey  ngel Zamora, son of Aunt Flo's dead husband.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eOr possibly even Aunt Flo herself? She said she was fine with the wedding; as fine as frog's hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverybody said they were happy for the couple, but Danilo kept getting almost murdered.
