an invitation.

Comlog4 is of interest to me. Investigate further. Show me clear proof
that 'K' is one Mr Keenan... and I will reward you.

The rest... is, sadly, useless to me at the moment. For what I have paid
you... use it as you see fit, discreetly.

I am impressed by your skill even if it offers me no immediate gain. I
hope you will be receptive if I require your demonstrated abilities in
the future.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Well, I've been listening since I sent that first set of reports, but
as you can see from the following files, they seem to be sticking to "K" for
some reason - perhaps an advanced case of paranoia, coinceidentally justified in this
case.

+++++Include file comlog.txt
[Being more discussions of the blackmail plot against "Mr K".]

I'll keep on it, and maybe we'll get lucky, but perhaps some of the
bigger, nastier looking people I briefly met at that hotel could be sued
to beat information out of some of these guys. Judging from the logs
I've given you, the guy known variously as Jimmy the Hammer, Jamjar, and
James Calfo seems to know more than anyone else, but also implied is his
seniority which might make it harder t get him. Maybe some of the people
he's ordering about in the log would be more useful? (see 10-06, at
about 13:40, and 10-07 at about 0730 - which is pretty dan early in the
day fro a mobster to be up and around... maybe he hadn't been to sleep
yet?)]<<<<<

>>>>>[Apologies for the delay.

I know who 'K' is, if that makes you happier. I prefer not to share
that, for reasons I hope you understand: you don't need to know yet. If
you believe you _do_ need to know... inform me.

>From the logs, Jimmy Hammer is the key. I need names and patterns for
the people he talks to most. Not just his _caporegimes_ but his friends
and family and the girls he's banging. When I send him a message, it has
to be properly calibrated... then we'll find out if he's a gentleman or
a thug.

Good work, XLR8.]<<<<<

James Calfo, a.k.a. Jimmy the Hammer. For now, I would prefer you to
gather information and inform me as to whether Calfo is the right target

I am, of course, willing to pay >>adequate sum<< for your time and
effort in making those enquiries.]<<<<<

need additional information on a James "Jimmy the Hammer" Calfo. An
enhanced dossier is required with enhancement on any notable patterns

his financials: how does he appear and how does he really get his money,
and how does he spend it. Given that the threat level is low but
detection unacceptable, I will authorize your premium rate.

Dunno if I should be offended that the initial dataset wasn't enough for
you. But you're the one who's paying.

Looking at what you've got already, I'd think a good place to start is
that nightclub he's sunk money into recently. A hood with a pet
nightclub? What's the world coming to? *snicker*]<<<<<

Keep pressing on the Cardone mob, and especially on Calfo. In
particular, I'd like to know who his rivals are - internal or
external.]<<<<<

+++++Include comlogx.txt
[Being a series of discussions which mostly revolve around bitching
about the way in which Jamjar or Jimmy the Hammer does business.]

I'm not sure how much of that is actual intention to "compete" in some
way, and how much is just general bitching. In particular, though, the
third item, the conversation between D-Cup (lovely name, I haven't seen
teh guy, but I've got a picture in my head of a hugely fat man with
bulging man-breasts and legs like an elephant's) and his sycophants,
seems at least a little promising.

Rivals of the external variety... no information on that, sorry. Beyond
the obvious ones, the feds/cops, I can only guess, really.]<<<<<
