A week after the meeting with Rosenstein we meet for our first deal. He was with that arrogant prick which pissed me off but I didn't let it interfere with business. A few brief words to each other we make the exchange and everything goes down smooth.

"Thank you Mr. Rosenstein... next deal we'll say 2 weeks from today?."

"That's works for me, you keep delivering the goods and ill have the cash!".

After the meeting I put the case of cash in my trunk and head to a near by restaurant for a quick bite. After about 20 minutes I return to my car only to be confronted by none other then Rosenstein arrogant associate who is standing with two other men. He replies "What you think your going to throw me out of your hotel and treat me with disrespect and get away with it?".

I say nothing, I only stand there and look at him like a joke.

The man stares at his two buddies and looks back to me "No one is untouchable in this line of work!...I'm sure you knew your luck would run out eventually KL!."

This time I reply "It will run out sooner or later... but not today!."

"You said it right Rosenstein. No one is untouchable in this line of work, not even you!" I stated it to him clearly and calmly. Two of my guards were with me, Al and Bill. They both had their sub machine gun aimed at Rosenstein and his men. His face clearly showed that we caught them by surprise.

I was in the neighborhood and met with my informant. I had a job in Vegas and Sully, the old mobster was from Vegas, called me that he had something for me. I got the information I needed and was about to leave the vicinity when I spotted Rosenstein in the alley. I also saw KL's car parked near the restaurant. I know both guys had bad blood and I know Rosenstein was up to no good.

"It's only business. I don't know why you have to make everything personal!"

I looked at KL and asked him,

"This is your show KL, say the word and my men will bathe them with bullets!"

Before responding to clover who I was happy to see, Rosenstein speaks up "I'm don't have a problem with KL madam!, it is my associate here who is clearly causing problems."

Clover looks at me and asks "Is this true?"

"Yea Clover it's true... Rosenstein just got here... its his associate here who has the issue with me. He's the one you overheard telling me no one is untouchable and he right but he's a little passed that I tosses him from my hotel a week ago. Rosenstein isn't the problem its his associate here along with his two goons."

As Clover looks at Rosenstein I look on and wait to see how he handles his workers.

I smiled at the situation. Rosenstein was acting dumb again.

"And you're allowing your associate here to do whatever he likes?" Before Rosenstein could answer, I took Al's sub and walked over to him. I pointed it at his tummy.

"You know KL has made his bones in our family. And you will let your goons do this to someone like him without the approval of your boss?" I resisted the urge to shoot him. And instead, I pointed the gun towards his buddies.

"Al! put this men in my car. You know what to do! I don't want this street to be painted with blood. As for you Rosenstein, consider this a pass. A single pass!"

As clover backed away from Rosenstein he looked at me "KL I didn't give him permission to go that far!. I-"

"Mr. Rosenstein Clover summed everything up here perfectly, you are my business connection to NY and it will stay that way. However after the disrespect from your associate not once but twice you will be taking a trip down to Chicago for the goods. Meetings will be at the hotel in my office and from now on you bring associates with respect."

Rosenstein looks around with an expression as if to say he didn't know what to say or tell me. None the less he nods in agreement and accepts my offer.

I then get into the Car with Clover still shocked at her timing. "Back from hiding huh?. I say with a smirk

"It seems as though Bernie... Mr. Rosenstein don't have a handle on his goons, however he is a business man and sadly he is a more reliable source then my last NY contact. This whole thing is out of respect for Anton...I had some complications with the last guy trying to take me out so after I did what I had to do I needed to find another contact, that's were Bernie came in."

Leaning back in my seat trying to relax after all the commotion I take a deep breath.

"Anyway enough about Bernie, all I can say is thank you for saving me... now why don't we go get something to eat? my treat."

"I always save all of your asses." I smiled remembering all those times that I was at the right place and time to save my family. I watched the buildings pass by and nodded at KL's suggestion. Even though I just had a sandwich awhile ago, the incident made me hungry. A warm spaghetti will do the trick.

"Let's pass by the HQ and pick up Seeyara. I'm sure she would love to come with us."
