The Naked Beat

by

It looked like I might have just found my lead. Before I would've sought out one of my shady informants and he would've haggled for some cash, then coughed up the information I required. But I don't run with that crowd anymore. As Rebecca hung up the phone and smiled at me as she walked back to the table, I realized I was running with a better crowd.

"Okay, cowboy. The contact is Mr. Li at the Hop Sing Tong office on Gin Ling Way in Chinatown. That's the best I can do."

That was enough, baby. All I needed...

    There is a real Hop Sing Tong office on Gin Ling Way in Chinatown in Los Angeles (Hop Sing was also the name of the cook on Bonanza). The Tong are known to traffic in drugs and sex, but I'm not casting aspersions on that particular office (I hope the Tong doesn't find me and kill me!)
