Jason. I’ve come to see Andrew.”
    The man waved Jason into the hallway and closed the door. “Andrew, you have a visitor,” the old man shouted in Chinese.
    â€œWho is it?” Andrew’s voice shouted back in Chinese from upstairs. The old man had gone into the kitchen and didn’t reply. Andrew, wearing just his white school shirt and underwear, appeared and looked down the stairs.
    â€œOh, it’s you, Jason. Well, you’d better come up.”
    â€œYou don’t seem too pleased to see me. Is everything all right?” Jason questioned as he ran up the stairs.
    â€œYeah,” Andrew assured him, performing a slow-motion high kick toward Jason.
    â€œYou did say I could come by and you would get me a job with your father when we got out.”
    â€œDid he now?” Lin Cho said behind Jason. Jason was taken by surprise. He turned to see Cho right behind him, his arms folded. He was wearing a black suit and tie that looked too small for his slightly overweight figure.
    â€œAndrew, where is your honor? You have a guest. Put some clothing on,” he ordered.
    â€œIt’s only Jason, Father. We shared a cell. He’s seen a lot more than this. He’s the boy I told you about. He could be of some use.”
    â€œYou’re a little on the small side, but Andrew speaks highly of you. A Western boy as a lookout could be useful.”
    â€œWhat’s my size got to do with it? I can take anyone you or Andrew can,” Jason said firmly.
    â€œAndrew is a black belt and a great fighter. I myself am a black belt second dan. I doubt that you could match us.”
    Jason bit his lip. He had over six years of karate and judo training. At age five, he had competed against boys who were ten and older, and they all had been twice his weight and size. Now, he could fight an adult opponent as easily as anyone else.
    How many more times have I got to prove myself?
    Jason followed Andrew into his room. It had “welcome home” cards stuck on one wall and posters of Bruce Lee on the others, which was very similar to Jason’s own room back home.
    â€œI want you to come with me Saturday, Jason. I have some unfinished business,” Andrew said, passing Jason a can of Coke.
    â€œWhat sort of business?”
    â€œThere’s a small store just off the high street. The owner refused to pay me. He was the guy I was beating up when the police showed up. I’m positive he called them in advance. Father has not collected anything since. He’s left it for me to deal with.”
    â€œSo he owes your father quite a bit of back money?” Jason quizzed.
    â€œNo, it’s not money anymore. He has blown that chance. This is personal. If I am to be number two in my father’s organization, I will need to get respect. I have to make an example of him. We’re going to kill him,” he said coldly.
    Jason took a long drink from his can, trying to think of something to say. He had to go along with it, but he could not be part of murder.
    â€œI’ve got to go. These new foster parents gave me a curfew.”
    â€œThe Bristows. I’ll drive you,” Andrew said and jumped off the bed and pulled on his shoes.
    â€œHow did you know their name?” Jason gasped.
    â€œJason, my father is deputy mountain master of the Triads. Have you heard of the Wo Shing Wo? That’s our Triad name. He is one step away from Boudica. Boudica is dragon leader. We have to be careful who we allow in. We’ve checked you out. It’s just a precaution.”
    â€œDid I pass the test when you checked me out?”
    â€œYou’re still breathing, aren’t you?”

Chapter 7
    Jason had arranged to meet Scott the following night at the park. It was planned for every third day at the same time. After he found out that the Triads had checked him out, he was concerned for Scott’s safety. He was also concerned for the Bristows’ safety. It may
