The Fall by Wayne C. Rogers

The fall from his office window above the Las Vegas Club should have broken some bones.

Johnny Felix, however, had been lucky.

Spilotro’s boys hadn’t seen the nun below, walking to the Catholic Church a few blocks away.  She’d cushioned Johnny’s fall, which was all right by him.

Rolling off the woman, Johnny saw she was still breathing.  He unconsciously crossed himself, and then continued to lay there as the four Italians came out the entrance and laughed at him.

“Who Tony sleeps with is his business,” Sammy said.

Johnny nodded, wondering what he’d tell Hank about his cheating wife.
