Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

"Mr Thomas there's a Dom Hemingway on the phone, says your old friends".

Dom Hemingway, I thought I'd never hear that name again, I didn't want to hear that name again. Japan, Yakuza, FBI, karaoke it all came flooding back like a tidal wave. Put him through Maya.

"Hey Neil how's it going, or should that be King".

You trying to get me shot?

"Take it easy, I checked to see if your line was safe before I called".

So what do you want?

"You know Ariti's restaurant near your office?"

Yeah of course.

"Meet me there 10 minutes".

Maya I'm going out for a bit, no idea how long. Anybody calls take a message, if it's urgent.......take a message. I'm going to turn my phone off for a bit, I need some time to think.

"Is everything okay Mr Thomas?"

Yeah errr yeah fine.

I walked into Ariti's, Hemingway stood out like a sore thumb, he didn't wear the FBI suit fits all. No Hemingway looked like a cast off from Miami Vice and I'm talking the original series, not the reboot of later years.

What do you need Dom?

"What no handshake, what about a song?"

Just get on with it.

"Hey you owe me, you owe me big time".

I owe you nothing yeah you gave me a new life but at a cost, and don't forget you shut down one of the biggest drug traffickers and organised crime gangs in US history.

"What cost?"

Akari!

"Yeah I'm, I'm sorry about her. I really am".

So what do you need, highly doubt you've come for tickets.

"You ever heard of Jimmy 'hard as nails' Quinn".

Enforcer for the O'Brien's, they took over most of the organised crime empire on the east coast, well they did until you put them behind bars a year back.

"Well turns out Jimmy wants to play baseball".

You want me to put an Irish hitman into my line up, Dom you are, well you are bat shit crazy.

"He's not an hitman anymore, he's not Jimmy Quinn anymore".

Then who is he?

"Nate Wood".

You mean Nate Wood the catcher? Nate Wood the ex Yellow Springs player? He died though, he went missing in a storm while he was camping eaten by a bear or wolves by all accounts they never found him.

"Well we did just he kind of looked like Jimmy Quinn".

I don't like saying Dom but Quinn on a dark night with rain hitting your eyes, may to a short sighted guy look like Woods at a push. Didn't Quinn have a scar?

"Yeah bear claw did it".

It was a knife fight.

"Ok I'm desperate, he knows more stuff, stuff that would shut Chicago down drug wise and he'll not tell us unless he can become a baseball player. A bit of plastic surgery and it could work, we can use the scar as a bear scratch, he's the perfect height and build for Woods".

One thing.

"What?"

As he ever played baseball?

"No!"

So Irish hit man never played ball is going to impersonate a veteran ball player who hmmmm is sorry was American as apple pie.

"That's about it".

Tell you what I once met Nate Wood, if he passes my eyes and ears".

"You'll do it?, I'd owe you big time".

Big time, look if I ever get so much as a parking ticket for the rest of my life I'm coming after you.

"Neil".

Yeah.

"Akari, she's, she's alive.

As Bobby Womack once said "leave them wanting more". :) It will continue but I have 3 avenues at the moment on were it will continue, maybe not player spotlights but there will be a part 2.
