The music of a remix success of Janet Jackson is playing. The average age of the people in the club must be aout 30 years old. Everyone is single, at least for the night, except for that woman, who is waiting. A man approach the table with two drinks in his hands. The man is about 6 feet talls, short hairs and have a two days beard. He looks handsome in his fashion clothing. The dark red light doesn't allow to see his facial traits. He put the drink in front of the woman.</p><p></p><p><span style="color: Yellow">"I thought you would like a Bloody Mary"</span></p><p><span style="color: Magenta">"Thanks, and what a sweetheart like you do in this club."</span></p><p><span style="color: Yellow">"I have a lonely heart to give."</span></p><p><span style="color: Magenta">"I would gladly take it."</span></p><p></p><p>The man sits next to her and give a quick look around and than look back at the woman. She sees for the first time his eyes. They are of light color, maybe blue, but hard to tell under this light, but they are beautifull she thinks. She got back to her senses, now that she knows it is time for business.</p><p></p><p><span style="color: Magenta">"My son need that heart. Tell your price, and it's yours."</span></p><p><span style="color: Yellow">"I don't normally trade in this domain, but for you, I'll do an exception. A young boy in Cuba is ill. He got the cancer. The brain is deeply affected, but the heart seems untouch. He will surely die this month, so you'll have it at the end of the month, maybe sooner. As time is precious for that kind of parcel, I'll have to use a more unsafe way than usual, which mean more danger and more hand to pay."</span></p><p></p><p>The man take a paper and write a number on it. and pass it to the woman.</p><p></p><p><span style="color: Magenta">"That's not cheap, but it seems fair. You got a deal."</span></p><p><span style="color: Yellow">"I'll contact you as soon as I have news of that kid."</span></p><p></p><p>The woman stand up and leave the place. The man stay there, and stare at the bar, where the barmaid is rushing to make some drink. He find her beautifull, but, so use to be drag by the people who come here, she never cared abour his advance. Maybe, some day, an opportunity will show up.</p><p></p><p><strong>Moore's Mansion, Miami, 8 days ago.</strong></p><p>The man is sitting on the edge of the pool. He drinks a Bloody Ceasar, and he is talking with a another man. The latest looks much like the first one.</p><p></p><p><span style="color: Orange">"Jimmy, I know I am annoying, but you should stop your business. The police is watching you, and they will get you sooner or later."</span></p><p><span style="color: Yellow">"Wallace, it is because you are my brother that I allow you to annoy me with that. You know, they have nothing on me and won't ever. I am just an honest trader, that's all."</span></p><p><span style="color: Orange">"Honest trader for sure, and smuggler too."</span></p><p><span style="color: Yellow">"Brother, I wouldn't even try to break the law. Even if it was to not pay my taxes or driving over the speed limits. You are in the police yourself, and you show me such a good example that I can only follow."</span></p><p><span style="color: Orange">"You are ridiculous, stop lying like that."</span></p><p><span style="color: Yellow">"Please, brother, I didn't invite you to start a fight. I wanted simply to talk about all and nothing. How goes mother?"</span></p><p><span style="color: Orange">"Not well. AIDS is killing her. She is even more ill than the last time. She must stay lying all the day at the hospital. If only father was still alive, she would have a better moral. At least, the nurse who takes care of her all knows her."</span></p><p><span style="color: Yellow">"Such a shame that a nurse catch AIDS. If only the hospital would have been more carefull. Let's go. I havn't seen her for a week. A visit of both her son will only make her day brigther."</span></p><p></p><p><strong>Downtown, Miami, 3 days ago.</strong></p><p>The clubs are closing, and Jimmy waits outside the Red Light. He sees the waitress finally getting out. She is the owner of the club, so it is natural she get out last Jimmy say to himself. Finally, she get out. The lock the door and starts to walk.</p><p></p><p><span style="color: Yellow">"Hi, you want a lift?"</span></p><p></p><p>The barmaid looks at Jimmy. She stare a moment and than say.</p><p></p><p><span style="color: MediumTurquoise">"You never quit it seems. You try to drag me for how much time now?"</span></p><p><span style="color: Yellow">"Not enough it seems."</span></p><p><span style="color: MediumTurquoise">"Because you have a nice car and you are good looking, you think every woman will walk to your feet."</span></p><p><span style="color: Yellow">"I hope not, or life would become dull. So, you want a ride, Maude?"</span></p><p><span style="color: MediumTurquoise">"Don't call me Maude. It's not because it is written on my badge that I will allow you to use it outside my club."</span></p><p><span style="color: Yellow">"That doesn't answer my question."</span></p><p><span style="color: MediumTurquoise">"No, I'll take a taxi. Good Night."</span></p><p></p><p>On that, she walks away, entering the taxi that was waiting at the corner of the street.</p><p></p><p><em><span style="color: Yellow">Why I am so clumsy with that girl. I really need to think up twice next time before doing something that stupid.</span></em></p><p></p><p>Jimmy's phone start to ring. He answers and listen for a moment.</p><p></p><p><span style="color: Yellow">"Proceed."</span></p><p></p><p>He search his pocket for a small phonebook, and he compose a number.</p><p></p><p><span style="color: Yellow">"The parcel will arrive in 12 hours."</span></p><p></p><p><strong>Local Airport, Miami, 2 days ago.</strong></p><p>A plane lands. When it comes to a stop, two guys walk out, one with a small container in his hands. Jimmy and Frederich are waiting near an hangar. The two men walks up to them. They all enter the hangar.</p><p></p><p><span style="color: Yellow">"You have the parcel. All is fine?"</span></p><p><span style="color: Lime">"Yes"</span> says the one carrying the container.</p><p><span style="color: Yellow">"Here the address. The car is waiting outside the hangar, on the other side."</span></p><p></p><p>The guy takes the address given by Jimmy and start to walk to the car, but on his way, he trips. The container fall on the ground and his content is spill on the ground as it broke. The heart roll on many meters and finish next to a metal barrel.</p><p></p><p><span style="color: Yellow">"You son of a b***h!"</span> shout Jimmy</p><p></p><p>Jimmy grabs the heart. The metal barrel is broken, and a small piece of metal has cut deeply the heart. Jimmy become red and turn to stare at the carrier. Jimmy is red.</p><p></p><p><span style="color: Yellow">"YOU!"</span> he said angrily <span style="color: Yellow">"YOU'LL PAY FO..."</span> he suddenly stops and stares at the heart he has in his hand. It is beating. The heart is beating in his hand. Staring at it, he sees that the cut is now just a light cut. The cut close completly, leaving no scare. <span style="color: Yellow">"Find a new container, FAST!"</span></p><p></p><p>A few moment later, Jimmy put the heart in the new container and give it to the man who was with the carrier. <span style="color: Yellow">"You take charge of it from here."</span> That man leave, and Jimmy stays in the hangar with Frederich and the first carrier.</p><p></p><p>Jimmy takes a kinfe and grab the hand of the clumsy carrier. <span style="color: Yellow">"Don't move, or it will hurt even more."</span> He cut a deep cut on the back of the carrier's hand. <span style="color: Yellow">"Nothing you won't heal."</span> Jimmy put his hand on the carrier wound. As he removed it, the wound is close. Jimmy starts to smile.</p><p></p><p><span style="color: Yellow">"What a gift. Imagine that Frederich. I can heal wounds. A godly gift in my hands. Imagine that. If someone make me trouble, I just capture him, wound him, and heal him. I wil be able to make him suffer like Promethee, who's heart was eaten every day just to grow back."</span> Jimmy looks back at the carrier. <span style="color: Yellow">"You're still here. You've heard nothing. Understand? Fine. Leave!"</span></p><p></p><p>The carrier quickly leave. When he is finally out of hearshot.</p><p></p><p><span style="color: Yellow">"I think I just scared him, and seriously. If he thinks I am ready to do that, he will think twice before playing the clumsy guy. For now, keep that secret. Imagine what I can do with that. It would be easy to create a shadow clinic and make lot's of money out of it. Yeah, That's a good idea, but first, I need to know how far extend that power. I think I will make a visit to my mother in the next few days."</span></p></blockquote><p></p>
