A Dangerous Sentinel

General Kwon Lo's compound was a grotesque fusion of imperial opulence and bad taste. It sat on a corner in a quiet part of Chinatown. The centerpiece of the exterior was occupied by the the crown jewel of the general's opulent taste--a grotesque saber tooth tiger. The interior was reputedly guarded by Lo’s private security force, hand-picked from former special forces units across Asia. As I stood watching the front of the compound visions of danger shivered through my body but mostly I saw Rosie Feng and the look in her eyes when she mentioned her husband's lost recipe. What the heck I thought, nothing ventured nothing gained. And with that I tipped my hat and walked through the front door.
