A month later, Mark sought his brother’s advice as he drove them to a pool hall. “I’ve got a thousand dollars. I can either put a down payment on a house or I can invest it.”

George lifted his eyebrows. He only had twenty dollars. But then, he wasn’t a hustler. “What do you want to invest in?”

“I got an offer to go to Hong Kong and pick up some merchandise for a business man here in Honolulu. If I throw my thousand in, I’d make at least another thousand or more. We split the profits plus he pays me a courier fee of $500. Or I could just invest in the venture.”

George whistled. That was big money. “What’s the merchandise?”

“Opium and hashish.”

George grabbed his arm. “Are you crazy? Leave that stuff to the Chinese.”

“Why?” Mark shook off his hand.

“You have a wife and a family.”

“Don’t lecture me, George,” Mark eyes glittered as he glanced sidelong at his brother. “I know what I got. I know what you got. I know what mother and father got. I don’t want just a taste of the pie. I want a nice house, a snazzy car, and early retirement. You think I’m going do that driving a soda truck or a taxi?”

“You could end up in prison!” George flicked the ashes off the cigarette he was smoking out the window and let his arm dangle outside.

“So you tell me where I can make $1500 or more in five days.”

“Sounds like you made up your mind,” George said.

“Join me. Instead of chicken feed, we can make real money.”

“I don’t want to get involved in that stuff,” George puffed on the cigarette and blew it out the window.

Mark shrugged. “Up to you, George. Let me know when you change your mind.”
