The trouble between Chili Palmer and Ray Bones started in Miami. Ray took Chili's jacket. Chili was eating lunch with his friend Tommy. When they finished, Chili went to get his jacket. It wasn't there. "Who took it?" "Mr Ray Barboni," the man said. "He didn't take it. He just borrowed it." "Really?" Chili said. Tommy knew Ray Barboni's house. He also knew Ray Barboni. "They call him Ray Bones. He works for Jimmy Cap." Tommy stopped the car in front of Ray's house. "And you know Jimmy Cap, so get the jacket but don't make Ray mad, okay?" Chili got out of the car. "Don't worry. I won't say anything to him." And he didn't. When Ray opened the door, Chili hit him in the face, walked in and got his jacket, and walked out. Chili Palmer worked for Momo as a Shylock*. People borrowed money from Chili. He always told them "Do you really want this money? I'm not a bank. If you don't pay me, well..." He never told them more than that, and they always paid him. It was his eyes. Chili had very cold eyes. And Ray Bones had a broken nose. Chili Palmer was in his office a few days later when Ray Bones walked in with a gun. But Chili had a gun too. They started shooting at the same time. Ray missed and Chili didn't. The bullet hit the top of Ray's head, two inches too high to kill him. Jimmy Cap and Momo heard about the problem between Ray and Chili and told them both to end it. It was over. And it stayed that way for twelve years. Until someone killed Momo in New York and Jimmy Cap got his business in Miami. This time, Ray didn't come with a gun. He didn't have to. He brought a big black man. Chili was at the hairdresser when they found him
