"Oh God!" Michelle thinks as they take their seats in the restaurant. She gives Danny an anxious look, and he squeezes her hand reassuringly. "You can do this, you can do this," Michelle chants to herself.

"So what is this all about?" Mick snarls. "I don't have all night."

"We have the deal of a lifetime for you hermano, an offer you can't refuse." Danny replies and gives Mick a big smile. "Just give our other partners a chance to get here. They should be arriving any minute."

"You know I hate to wait Danny," Mick says and crosses his arms over his chest.

The butterflies in Michelle's stomach flutter furiously as she looks around the crowded restaurant. "Come on! Where are they?" she thinks. Suddenly she sees a man and woman making their way to the table. She kicks Danny's ankle under the table, and he leaps up to greet the other couple.

"Buzz, Selena so good to see you! You guys know my brother Mick don't you?" Danny says.

Mick looks surprised and says, "Yea, I know them, they are those two bendejitos from the diner. What the hell is going on Danny? I thought we were going to have a business meeting, not a Greek revival," Mick says laughing at his own joke. "Hey Selena, tell Drew I'm still waiting for that date at the beach."

Selena lunges at Mick, but Buzz grabs her and holds her back. Mick chuckles at the spectacle.

"Well now that we have all the pleasantries aside, let's get down to business," Danny says as Buzz and Selena take their seats. "As you may have heard, Buzz has recently come into a large sum of money, and he is looking for investments."

"Yea, so. What does that have to do with me?" Mick grumbles.

"Well, I have all of the details right here," Danny replies, and hands Mick a large manila envelope.

Mick takes the envelope and opens it. His eyes light with surprise when he sees the contents. "What the hell?" he exclaims and stares directly at Michelle.

Michelle cringes and tries to hide her fear. "Here we go girl. Don't blow it now," she thinks giving Mick a wide smile.
