Friend or foe?
An hour later, and my next visitor was less well behaved, very much less well behaved, a swaggering grey-haired Russian with two large goons as bodyguards.
âSo, the famous Roskov,â he rudely began.
âKag dillar,â I cautiously offered. âAnd welcome to our club, soon to be expanded next door. And who are the two large gentlemen behind you?â
âMy bodyguards of course.â
âAnd why do you need bodyguards in my club, is your ex-wife after you?
He did not quite know how to take that, as an insult or a joke. He puffed up his chest. âI am rich.â
âStockholm is a very safe city, unless you have enemies from a few deals gone wrong.â I waited. Out the corner of my eye I could see Carter one way and Luc the other way, Rolf hanging back with Ingrid.
âMy bodyguards are my business.â
âNot when they are in my club, since someone might upset you ⦠and then your bodyguards might get involved, and I donât want such a scene in my club.â I again waited.
Jenny walked up with a drink for me, oblivious to any issues here.
I took the drink. âThis is Jenny Patrick from America.â
He smiled and bowed his head. âAn honour, I have seen your TV show.â
âWhat do you do?â Jenny innocently asked.
âI left Russia, and now I have business interests in Europe, some here in Sweden, a few hotels.â
âDo you need some advertising done for your hotels?â Jenny asked. âWeâve promoted quite a few.â
He turned to me, puzzled.
âYes, we can promote your hotels,â I told him. âWhy not, we donât turn away work unless the client is ⦠difficult.â
âI will think about that, yes. Thank you for the offer.â Jenny walked off.
I made eye contact with Luc and he walked up, and to an obvious distance, Carter closing in. My new friend took in Luc and then Carter.
âAnd these gentlemen ⦠do what?â
âThey arrest people, sometimes they shoot them first, and sometimes they check a businessmanâs visa and work permit very carefully, his private details seen all over the newspapers. But that depends on the businessman, and what he does in my club with his two bodyguards.
âSo I suggest the two men sit and eat, and make themselves look small, and that they donât touch anyone unless you are being threatening, and then I will defend you â this is my club.
âAnd if you were hurt here by a beautiful girl that rejects you, I will compensate your for your injuries.â
He smiled. âMy heart is not capable of being hurt in such a way, not for a long time.â
âHave a nice visit, but please try and behave less like a Russian businessman. The last man I spoke to, before you, he had no bodyguards with him, but he is a billionaire. So I think you can trust my club security as well, and relax some.â
A glance at Luc, and the Russian said, âI would like to stay at the Gun Room in Corsica.â
âSince you are a guest of this club, you will get to stay before many on the list.
