# 19 My-Ling

My-Ling has found a new Texas Bar in town with a new bull to ride. She strolls in wearing her levi's, boots and a flannel shirt covered front and back with real rubies. She sits and watches people thrown off the bull. No one has stayed for more than 30 seconds. Some people she has seen riding before last less time than others she has never seen. She leaves after an hour of watching. But she will return. Unknown to her, she was being watched with much interest.

Two days later she arrives to watch some more. The three men now watch her more than the bull. The leader Big Ed says, "Shorty, I want you to follow her on foot. I know she came in a taxi but you walk until you lose sight of her. then write down where you are with pictures."

My-Ling comes into the Bar several days later and Big Ed sends out Shorty to the street he lost her at and Face is sent down that street to see where she goes.

Big Ed has a plan to grab My-Ling for the rubies and maybe a ransom to sweeten the pot. It goes as planned; except the Madam is notified of the kidnapping as it is happening. Forces are brought to play to keep My-Ling safe.

Will they be able to dispose of the rubies even if they can get them. Why would anyone be interested in accidents in the fish market in China Town.
