When I got to the coffeehouse Sam was waiting.

“The hit went off without a hitch. The jade is in crates in the back.” She told me.

We went to check them out, and I must say that Lorenzo has great taste these were top of the line cut.I went into the office to call Ice. “Hello Ice how are you?”

“Good, you should have the items you ordered later today.” She explains.

“That is good but that is not why I am calling you. I have some jade and your the first person I thought of. You can have it for one- hundred thousand dollars.” I explain to her.

“ Why so cheap what’s wrong with it?”

“ Nothing you can come inspect it yourself.”

“ I can come at four o ‘clock is that cool?”

“ Sure see you then.”

“ Marina we have 6 of the businesses on the docks under our protection. I need to know what kinds of coffee you plan to sell in here, plus you need to look at, and sign the purchase order for the cappuccino makers, and the dishware. Today you also had me schedule interviews for staffing.”

Stone knocked at the door to tell me the guys were here to set up the equipment. I went outside, where he handed me the list. The Pioneer DMJ 1000, Bose speaker systems, 3 amps and two head sets. I checked off each item as it came thru the door. I looked up and seen Papi coming thru the door.

“ Hello” I said, as I lead her back to my office.

“ Thanks for meeting me Papi. As I said before your web page caught my eye. The store itself is fantastic. Let me tell you a little about me. For the last ten years I lived in LA where I ran a very successful coffeehouse I had a business partner. I have records for the last five years if you would like to see them.” I told her.

“ Well Marina it is good to know that you have experience running your own business. But what about you as a person?”

“ Well I am married to a very rich man. What about you Papi how did you start in business?”
