For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Mandar had gone along with Hannah and the others, he was looking forward to doing his part. He is a natural for dealing with people like Koffman. Mandar walked in first, with his usual two women bodyguards. He always uses women for his bodyguards. I asked him why one time. He just said, “because I want to.” Good answer. Misty and Cristy used to be his bodyguards at one time. Those two are amazing fighters and super fast, plus accurate, with a gun.
As Mandar walked past the doormen, he told them to tell Mr. Koffman that Mandar was here and wished to talk with him briefly. The nightclub has been renovated with a much larger gambling room, or really, rooms, but one main one which is about 3 times larger than before. The dining area is also much larger and Mandar sat down at a nice, large table in the corner, along with Hannah, Astrid, Monika, Mac, John and Oskar. Oskar stood behind Hannah and Mandar’s two girls stood behind him.
The table had a reserved sign on it and the waiter mentioned that to Mandar. Oskar then took the sign and put it on the next table. “There, no sign now,” said Oskar. Just then Koffman showed up with two men. “Ah, Mr. Koffman,” said Mandar, “please join us my good man, we have some talking to do. I am sure you will be interested.” So, Koffman sat next to Mandar and his two men stood close by. “We are not here to hurt you, my man,” said Mandar, “just looking for some information, and I’m sure you can help us in that area.”
“Time is money Mandar,” he said, “so is information.” “I think you should be willing to help us out,” said Hannah, “after all, you do owe us one, or perhaps more.” “What information do you want?” he asked, “And why did Steve not come himself? I imagine he is the one that really wants the information.” “Wrong, my good man, it is I that would like the information,” said Mandar, “I am quite sure you have heard of a man named Mr. Flynn, I would like to find him. And soon, if possible.”
Koffman chuckled a bit. “I think even you are out of your league with this one Mandar,” said Koffman, “I would suggest you don’t get involved with Mr. Flynn, or you will likely end up dead.” “Everyone dies at some point, my man, everyone.” said Mandar. “Even you Mr. Koffman,” added Hannah, “you appear to be afraid of Mr. Flynn, but we are not.” “You should be afraid of Mr. Flynn,” said Koffman, “everyone is that has any sense. If I give you information, then I will be on Mr. Flynn’s hit list, and I don’t want that.”
“My good man,” said Mandar, “Steve has let you live many times now. He could have put you in prison numerous times. It seems to me that you should be willing to help him out now or perhaps you will end up on someone else’s hit list. Where can we find Mr. Flynn?” “What’s in it for me?” asked Koffman. “Well, for one thing,” said Hannah, “we can keep you out of prison. And, if you tell us where to find Mr. Flynn, you won’t have to worry about him finding you because he will be dead.”
“You sound quite confidant,” said Koffman, “Mandar and the Investigators are working together on this one, that part is interesting. I would like to know why Steve is not here though. Also, have you ever seen Mr. Flynn?” Hannah took out a picture of him and handed it to Koffman. He then whispered something to one of his men who then left. “This is the man Mr. Flynn wants everyone to see,” said Koffman, “and I am thinking that Steve has been kidnapped, or perhaps killed, by Mr. Flynn.”
“You are correct on the first,” said Mandar, “and possibly even the second.” Koffman’s man returned just then and handed a photo to him. Koffman then handed the photo to Mandar. “That is Mr. Flynn,” said Koffman, “a clever way to keep her identity a secret.” Mandar handed the photo to Hannah. “She’s a very beautiful woman,” said Hannah, “now, once again, where do we find her.” “I think you’re both crazy going after her,” he said, “she is death to anyone who tries going after her. But, you can find her in Florida, that’s where she lives and has her main office.”
He then told them exactly where to find her at different times of the day. “Did you hear it Kat?” asked Hannah. “Yes, thank you Mr. Koffman,” said Kat, “if we don’t stop Mr. Flynn, we will warn you and try to help you. Does she have a name?” “Wendy Wilder, Miss Kat,” he said, “watch her carefully, she enjoys hurting and killing.” “Wendy Wilder is about to feel the wrath of the Kat, Mr. Koffman,” she said. Koffman invited the others to stay for dinner, which they did.
Meanwhile, “If we stop to fight with Mr. Flynn,” said Rock, “then we might be too late to save Steve and the others.” “Yes, I realize that,” said Kat, “so we will leave the Black Wolves to watch Wendy in case she decides to fly away and we will go help the others if they are still alive.” “Please don’t say it like that Kat,” said Rock, “we must find them alive.” Soon they were back in the air flying to, wherever…

Steve`s Country 
Enjoy Mandar taking center stage, in this story. He has not been featured for quite some time. He does have the right persona in dealing with Koffman. Mandar’s companions have also bring their experience with them. Hannah should be able to give insight into Wendy. Cannot remember exactly who on your team posed as a man, while a woman, just as Wendy is.
Koffman fas been the man of 9 lives and has escaped due to the Investigator’s help. He was wise to give the information up on Wendy. What will Kat do to her? Hopefully, Wendy will not live through this time as she is attempting to murder Steve and most of the Investigators.
