Excerpt
Sergeant Bristol was digesting the information that I was supplying him and nodding his head in comprehension.
"Is Mr. Sun Weng a big man?" asked the Sergeant.
In stature he is not a big man," I said, "but he is usually seen with a couple of henchmen who he has referred to as his associates. In that respect, I would regard him as a big man in his organization."
The Sergeant looked directly at Toni and asked, "Is your family in possession of the ritual ornament Mr. Thompson has spoken of?"
After glancing at the four of us, Toni said, "Most assuredly not."
I smiled at the Sergaint again, and said, "And this is where the story becomes a little sticky. You see, we are in possession of the ornament!"
