"Hope it doesn't offend your sensitivities,"
his morbid humor responded even as he clasped her hand. Like the rest of the woman, her hand was tough. Callouses roughened her palms. A woman of action, then.
He retracted his arm and tapped fingers lightly on the table, lifting them slightly to approve her use of his name. "I am sure Mr. Amengual will not be pleased his son gets arrested his first useful night in Moscow."
He snorted an amused laugh and entertained whether or not Yun Kao was worth risking his relationship with the cartel. "You can call off the APB, though. I'll tell you what's on the data stick for the asking."
"Given if I make your life a little easier, I hope you'd do the same for me?"
The humor slid from his face. His lips flattened dead serious.
So she was a cop. One that claimed to own the city. Given the way so many men of stature deferred to her, she had a legitimate claim. Friendship with Yun Kao may prove useful to his efforts. "I am brokering a partnership between manufacturing and distribution, if you will. The Amenguals you know. If they like the offer, I will introduce them to an interested distributor. It's boring stuff really. Terms, boundaries, costs. That sort of thing. It's my attention to gain favor with the Amenguals. Something that speaking with you is unlikely to contribute. Now, how are you going to make all this trouble worth my while, Yun Kao?"
Cancelling that APB would be a good start.
