Michael Trenton now sitting in a corner booth has just given his hostess his drink order. She rushes off to get it as James Trenton enters the room. Following close by is his trusted bodyguard Marcus.

James speaks..


Mikey as I live and breathe.
Damn. I am rarely shocked these days but you've surprised me.
Never thought you'd actually show.
Just in time for our grand re-opening too!

He pauses to look at Michael's clothes.
In a sarcastic tone he says..


Glad to see you dressed up for the occasion..
Geez brother are times really that tough for USI?!
I mean Damn are you reduced to wearing rags!?!
Or was this your 'slumming' attire since your meeting dirty ole Junkers?
Well either way what your wearing doesn't matter its just good your here.


Marcus turns his head and a green light emits from his eyes.
The light cascades over Michael casting a green grid covering his body head to toe.
It's only there for a second and then its off again.
Marcus says..

He's clean.. no threat detected.
Identity confirmed Michael Trenton.

Unarmed too?
I'm impressed you have mucho grande juevo's mi hermano.
So before we talk business.. Let's clear the air.
Regardless of what has happened in our past.
I am only interested in what happens in our future.

The hostess returns holding a tray with drinks on it.
A very fine bottle of Scotch sits in the center. She says..
As you requested Mr.Trenton here is your drinks
Michael and James turn to thank her at the exact same time.
She pauses a moment awkwardly while turning to face James.
Oh I'm sorry Mr. Trenton.. uh.. I meant the other uhm.. Mr. Trent..
Hahaha gonna have to get usta that I guess!
She meant me bro I told her to bring us a bottle of our finest.
Please let us sit and have a drink we have much to discuss.


James and Michael now sit in the booth as the hostess pours them both a drink.
She hands them to the brothers and walks away.
Both men now holding glasses James says..

Shall we toast.... to family?
