"Did you hear?"

"Hear what?"

"Kwang Chang Caine is dead, boss. Everyone is talking about it."

A snort followed the sentence.

"Where did you hear that?"

"That guy that runs that little stand on 4th."

"That is such a remarkable reliable source."

"There was a group of ladies were crying their eyes out on my way here."

An eye roll and a sigh followed by the puff of smoke floating into the air.

"If Kwang Chang Caine was dead, I would have expected a lot more fan fare than a guy on 4th and a couple of ladies."

"Maybe, they want to keep it on the hush hush…you know…no chaos on the streets."

"….You seriously expected me to believe that."

"Boss, you know how the government is!"

"I don't want to hear about your government theories. Once a week is enough for me."

"You have no idea how many things are government covers up!"

"I will leave that to you to tell me all about it…later. Much much later….closer to never if I can get there. Now if he is dead…like you said…how did he die?"

A huff came from the other person.

"Bon Bon Hi, of course."

"Bon Bon Hi has been trying to off the Caines for years. No success but a big ass kicking on his part."

"Maybe this time…he found a way."

"I expect turtles will be dancing right about now."

"Haha. Seriously, Bon Bon Hi has been making big moves lately. He is buying up all of those properties. If he was alive, he wouldn't be doing that."

"Are you sure about that? Bon Bon Hi has been buying that warehouses for months because the economics in the sewer. If it was some other things…like I don't know…shops. From what I know, a ton of shop owners have been blocking those deals. Hell, I even signed several of those protest things going around and went to some of the meetings in Chinatown."

"You know that isn't good, boss. He might…"

"If he came down here and have a problem with me, so be it. I will deal with it then. Maybe, he will come and fix my broken windows. My damn insurance has gone up again. Bastard."

"Boss!"

"What?"

"Focus."

"Whatever…Beside, Bon Bon Hi didn't do it. We would have heard about it like the second after it happened. He is the type that likes to gloat."

"Well…Caines have a lot of enemies, boss. Any of them could off him."

"Possible."

"Ah HA! Now, you believe me."

"No, I believe that it is a possible. Not that actually happened. Beside, Caine wouldn't have been off like that."

"Then how?"

There was a moment of silence fill the conversation then an answer.

"He would have died in the same matter that he lived. He would have died helping every person in his path. He would protect them and heal them before he would have done something for himself. He is like damn superman with a medicine bag."

"….Still think that it is Bon Bon Hi."

"You and your drama…"

"Just stating my opinion."

"Even if it has no facts to it."

"You are a terrible boss. You never listen to their employees."

"And yet you still work for me."

"Like you said…the economy sucks."

"Excuses…Excuses…Now, lets get to work."

Gentle push. A cigarette thrown to the ground and stomped out.

"Boss….aren't you worried at all? That the rumors are true."

"If the rumors are true…and something did happen to him, I am still not worried."

"Why?"

A shrug followed the sentence.

"We still have a Caine in Chinatown. I know for a fact that this one knew how to use a gun."
