She sat down gracefully and put her cigarette in the ashtray. She shifted for a brief moment looking for a comfortable position. Then she motioned her hand to the bartender and when he finallly approached after a few moments, she said:
" Bring me a Mactan Cocktail please, i saw it marked as a menu special "
The bartender noded and walked away.
" Wolfgang, i would have never thought i would end up having a drink with one of your people. Not because i have something agaist you. On the contrary, you have shown me and my people no bad intentions. It is mearly because of the rumors i hear from the law abiding citizens of Liberty. On the other hand i heard same stories about the Maltese, but my visit to Malta has proven to be nothing but delight and welcomed open arms. So i will judge people by their actions towards me and my people.."
