A/N: Sorry bout the short chapter, folks. Trying to get several out at once.
Mid-Day Rendezvous
The supplier was ready and waiting when Alec arrived at the rendezvous point downtown. "Alec, my man, good to see ya' again. I was beginning to think you'd changed your mind."
"Not a chance, my friend, not a chance. We've been waiting for this stuff for a long time." Alec reached out and shook the guy's hand, slipping him a wad of cash as he did it. "So Mike, what do have for me?"
Mike walked over to a large moving van and opened the back door. Inside were four pool tables, several dart boards, countless cases of liquor and beer, and something covered up by a large moth-eaten blanket.
"What's under the blanket?" Alec asked suspiciously.
"This my friend is the icing on the cake. I found it tucked away in the back of my store room and thought I'd bring it along. Don't know if it still works or not, but if you want it you can have it for an extra hundred." With that he pulled off the blanket to reveal a large set of speakers, a TV, and what looked like an old karaoke machine.
Alec whistled. "My friend, you have got yourself a deal. If it doesn't work, I know a few guys who can fix anything. Thanks a lot, buddy!" Alec handed over another hundred dollar bill and took the keys to the van.
"It was a pleasure doing business with you, Alec!" Mike stuck the wad of cash in his pocket and turned to leave. "Let me know if you need anything else. I'm out of the booze business but I still have my contacts."
"Will do, my friend, will do. And thanks again!" Alec waved and drove away.
