“It was early evening. We were in Hawk's Jaguar, in Boston, parked on Harrison Ave down back of the Tufts Medical Center, mid Chinatown, outside of a large red brick city housing project.
"Chinese lady has a rent-controlled apartment, and she has turned it into a place for bachelors. It is, of course, illegal," Mei Ling said.

"My cousin lives here with nine other men. Everyone else here is a waiter, they have gone to work. I have promised him you will not tell anyone." "Promise," I said.
"Any good takeout around here, Mei Ling?" Vinnie said.
"I don't know," she said.
"I have never come here to eat." "Place on the corner looks all right," Vinnie said.
"Chicken with cashews?" Hawk nodded. He looked at Mei Ling. She smiled.
"We be here, Missy," he said.
Mei Ling nodded and got out with me.
