More work on your plan and a discovery.

The rest of the day is spent much like the previous one. Learning, researching, moving money around, getting to know the guys, etc. One stroke of luck was finding a day planner in Vincent's desk. In it you found a lot of notes and scribbles that you had no idea the significance of. One of them however looked like the combination to a safe. Putting it to the test you began looking around the study for a safe. Lo and behold you found it behind a swinging bookshelf. The combination worked!

In the safe you find guns, various valuables, important files, and stacks of cash. 'That should keep us going for a while.' You think. The files had various interesting documents in them. Everything from property deeds to hand scrawled I.O.U.'s on bar napkins. There is a bunch of material that contained very private and sensitive information. It was **** material. Judges, politicians, local and foreign business owners. There was quite the collection. This might prove useful in the long run.

You don't see Louis at all that day, which worried you. Calling him on Vincent's cell, your cell you remind yourself, you ask how he's doing with the **** contract. He says he is making progress and that everything else is running smoothly. You tell him that Soo-yin would help him with the contract situation tomorrow. He replies tersely, again saying "you're the boss", and ends the call.

Later in the day you happen to bump into Soo-yin and Caitlin as they enter through the front door. Soo-yin was in all black, as always, this time wearing jeans and a leather jacket with wrap around sunglasses. Caitlin followed a step behind her with a bunch of shopping bags looped over her arms. All of the bags looked to be from high-end stores except for one that said 'Sex Boutique' on the side in fancy pink letters. Caitlin was wearing a classy white knee length one piece skirt and looked to be positively bubbling with joy. She had a new hairdo and a manicure too. She looked really good you had to admit. A hell of a lot different from the last time you saw her!

"Mr Vincent! Mr Vincent! We went shopping." She beams at you. "Look at all the stuff she got me!"

You smile back at her. "Uh, yeah. That's great Caitlin." You notice the lack of a motorcycle helmet with Soo-yin this time. "How did you guys get there?"

"I borrowed one of your cars." Soo-yin informs you.

Cars? Cars! You hadn't even looked in the garage yet. That is something you would have to check out.

"Louis will be ready for you tomorrow." You tell her. She nods in acknowledgement. "Dinner is in an hour." You say as they head upstairs. You can't help but notice that Caitlin is staying close to and just behind Soo-yin at all times. She reminds you of a well heeled dog. A happy one though.

"We'll be there." The Korean says as she goes.

You head towards the garage, making chit chat with one of your boys out in the yard as you go. When you enter you see nothing but darkness. Reaching around for the lights you flick a few switches. The lights flicker to life.

"Wooahhh..." You gasp.

In front of you were 13 perfect glittering showroom pieces all sitting in an immaculately clean garage. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Bugatti, Jaguar, and others; even a classic Shelby Cobra. You stand there a long moment, admiring the flowing lines like you might a beautiful woman's curves. They shine and sparkle in the perfect lighting of the garage. There is a peg board of keys nearby. You approach and run your hand over the nearest car, a polished gunmetal grey Aston Martin. You feel its cold glossy fender beneath your fingers, the vehicle just oozed class.

Contract or no contract you were taking one of these beauties out tonight! You smile. Maybe Natali would like to go for a drive in the country.
