Joseph was sitting next the window of his room.Curtain was floating through the air as a mild breeze came in to the room with a sweet coal smell.He inhaled it slowly when he remembered his childhood.Grabbed his cigar from the ashtray next to him and lighted it.A couple of hits later he fell in his memories.It was early 1900's when his family came to this lands.Country of opportunities.He heard his mother's voice,sun was yet orange,a rooster was going cock-a-doodle-doo.Mother came in to the room and said ''Aren't you ready yet come on!We are going to miss the ship.''He put on his finest panths and shirt.Maybe it wasn't the finest but that was what he have then he put on some socks.They were in different colour, some holes in where heels go.While he was tying his shoelaces mother yelled at him from the stairs ''If you don't stand near me in 20 second someone is going to get hurt!'' she said.He rushed the last knot and started to run down the stairs.As his foot touched the last stair he tripped and fell down to the ground on his forehead.A small cut on his right eyebrow .Nothing serious but stands here still after all all these years maybe something special.Mother doesn't cared that much when she saw the cut nimbly pulled out her silk hankie and cleaned the blood with it.Joseph wasn't crying but his eyes was watered because of the pain.Mother said ''Push it against it hard so it stops bleeding quicker.'' Joseph done it as he walk to the cart.Father was there holding the horse's strap,with a still face like he plays poker for living.They didn't talk until they get to the harbor.They stopped at somewhere and leave the cart there continued on their feet.When they heard the ship's horn mother started to run while pulling him behind and holding his hand.Fortunately they catched it in time. They were the last boarders. 10 days later maybe more ..They arrived to New York but it wasn't the end of the journey .They went to Michigan from there on land.When they were close to the village where they were going to stay for a while he saw a big building.Sign was saying FORD MOTOR CO. DETROIT -MICH.- He asked to his mother ''What is that ?''.Mother answered ''There is what we are going to work from now on.'' A knock on the door and a man's voice saying ''Sir , someone is waiting for you in the lobby.'' Joseph took his pitch black coat from the hanger in his hand and put his white fedora on his head and started to stroll with curiosity of who is waiting. |

As he walk down the stairs sound of chattering started to rise.In the sudden Blunt_Force_Tony threw a punch at his face but Joseph was too ready and agile for these kind of situations.Escaped the punch very easily.''I wasn't expecting that.'' Tony said.''And i don't want to know what happens to my face when your punch meets with it.'' Joseph followed.Tony and Big_Mike started to laugh and ''Do you want to know what my fists can do ?'' asked Mike as he show his big right hand to Joseph.''Yeah,that one too.Sorry gentleman i been told that someone is waiting for me in the lobby.''said Joseph.''Yeah i know , that guy asked about you.'' Tony said as he point in the direction that where the man at.Joseph stroll towards that direction where Tony pointed at while tucking his shirt in his panths. |

He saw the man tipping his hat to his face as he talking to a woman next to him.Woman had Joseph's attention with her grey hair but she wasn't looking old though.He got close to them when he said ''I heard that you are looking for me ? I'm Joseph.'' as he raised his hand for a handshake.Woman walked away from them as he say it and the man looked at him with his bold greyish eyebrows. They were meeting in the middle like one ,didn't say anything.He slit an envelope to Joseph's hand strolled towards to the door.''Hey,wait up !'' Joseph said. But the mysterious man didn't turned his back.Joseph opened the envelope with his teeth in curiosity. Meet me at where Michigan Avenue and Washington Boulevard meets tomorrow at 11.00 pm.Don't be late there is something important i need to tell you. |

Joseph came 20 minutes early to the address.Because he liked to be on time.He was never late to anything but he was suspicious about that guy so he came there with one of his most trusted bodyguards.Their back were standing against the wall in an alleyway as they smoke their cigar and talking about casual stuff .A black car got past the alleyway with its lights on.They waited a little bit and car turned back to the alleyway and parked next to the sidewalk. Man in black got out of the car made a hand gesture to his driver to stay in the car.He started to stroll towards Joseph and his man. ''We need to talk about this face to face and alone '' man said.''Do you have any weapons aside your fists ?''Joseph asked.Man opened his coat's buttons and showed he have nothing on him.''Back off , it is all good.''Joseph said.Bodyguard nodded his head and got away from them.''Do you know anything about your father?'' man said.''He owed someone a couple of thousands greens for gambling , he didn't paid that and he died.''Joseph said.''Yeah that is probably what you have been said but it is not he truth.'' man said.''What are you talking about!?'' Joseph asked as he lit his cigar again and took a long drag,exhaled the smoked over man's right shoulder.''He did not died at least not lately , he forced to change his name for international drug trade to pay his debt to who he owed some.And it was not a couple of thousands it was approximately 360 K.But he couldn't get out when he paid it .He continued because of the dead treat he have received.3 days earlier he died in a shooting while doing a exchange for drugs in LA.I brought you his last will because i owed him and he was a close friend of mine.'' man said.Man handed Joseph a envelope. I only have my boy and my wife.I bequeath my money in Los Angeles Bank to my wife and my stash in Detroit to my boy whom i been long forgotten.My stash is in the warehouse next to Sunrise Hotel.Number of the safe is 172 but you need to lockpick it because there are no other key aside which i have. Joseph gave a handshake to the man with pleasure and said to himself ''Finally that old man did something great in his life.''
