Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Vince decides that even if he cannot mend his and Kendra’s relationship–and even if he is under investigation by the FBI—he can at least continue to help Jimmy and Ed. He resolves to do this by confronting Boaz at the Platinum Coast. He hopes that Jimmy and Ed were right, and that his family name will intimidate Boaz into leaving Jimmy and Ed alone.
Once inside the Platinum Coast, however, he is astonished to see Boaz talking to one of his father’s associates: Uncle Rafe, who is Johnny’s father. (Johnny is the boy whom Vince recognized at the football game in Chapter 3.) Vince realizes that his own father is behind this false club, even while he is also punishing Ed and Jimmy for investing in it.
Furious and disillusioned, he decides to warn Ed and Jimmy directly. In the middle of a gathering thunderstorm, he drives to their respective places of business. He cannot find Ed at Java Grotto, but he does eventually find Jimmy at Return to Sender. When Jimmy sees Vince, he flees to the bathroom; he has obviously been warned by Anthony Luca’s cronies to stay away from him. Vince ends up standing on the bathroom sink shouting at Jimmy that the Platinum Club is a confidence game, while Jimmy cowers in a stall, singing “The Star Spangled Banner.
