My thoughts returned to Chi-Chi as he munched thoughtfully on his sandwich.

“I am, actually, going to invest money in DFR,” I told him.

He looked at me and smiled.

“The bank has been good to me, even with Eichner’s shit,” he replied. “I could probably help you if you do nothing to hurt DFR-Wien.”

“What about Eichner?”

Chi-Chi crumbled up the paper that had wrapped his sandwich, and then stood.

“I don’t care about him.”

I finished my sandwich, too, but since my new friend didn’t seem anxious to get away, I walked alongside him back toward the bank. Thinking twice about that, I stopped, realizing that it wouldn’t be good to be seen too close to the bank too many times, especially in the company of one of its junior managers. We were just passing one of the many kiosks that dotted the streets of Vienna, boxy little stands that sell sausages, beer, and more, when I saw the man with the salt-and-pepper hair that I recalled from my breakfast at Marriott. He was just paying for a käsekrainer – a cheese sausage popular at these Wurstelstand kiosks. A tattoo appeared on his wrist as his shirt sleeve pulled back while he handed over the few Euros to pay for his food.

My sudden halt drew Chi-Chi’s attention.

“Who’s that?” I asked automatically, although there was no reason to think that Chi-Chi would know that man.

“Who? Oh, that’s Chuck Dryden,” Chi-Chi replied. “The director of security for DFR. Starchy, strait-laced, real jarhead. Reminds me of the kind my mother told me served in Vietnam. Why do you ask?”

I didn’t respond, just shrugged my shoulders in reply.
