Justin is quite reliable. Jimmy marked each point he ntioned on the map, and the distances between them are indeed as he said, completely manageable with a seaplane. However, from Miami out into the open sea, it's nearly a thousand kiloters to the Dominican Republic. There aren't many seaplanes capable of such a journey, as they're generally ant for short-haul takeoffs and landings.
He forgot to inquire about the plane model earlier, but since such a route can be arranged, it should be fine. Maybe they're using one of the few models suitable for long-distance transport.
The Dominican Republic is a rather unique country. Though it's not far from the United States' Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, traveling back and forth by plane or yacht is easy; dealing with checks and customs is troubleso.
Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands are U.S. territories; traveling to the mainland is considered dostic travel. Justin ntioned that getting an ID allows you to travel, yet Jimmy is unsatisfied with these arrangents. Involving comrcial flights ensures surveillance can capture Jimmy's image. Perhaps makeup can prevent so exposure, but there's always a risk.
This ti he's dealing with a major tycoon, and such individuals often have powerful connections. If sothing happens to them, investigations ensue, even if just for self-preservation. Actual exposure ans losing everything, and suspicion alone might wield enough power to obliterate one's future or directly attack.
The actions on Justin's side might have been too high-profile. Days later, Jimmy received a call, "Mr. Yang, are you free this weekend?"
Jimmy: "Charon, what's up?"
Charon: "Mr. Winston would like to invite you for golf."
Jimmy: "Hold on... What ti?"
Charon: "Saturday morning, perhaps?"
Jimmy: "OK, just send the address."
After providing the address, Charon quickly hung up. Jimmy, holding his phone, shook his head with a wry smile. He couldn't believe Winston would suddenly, unexpectedly reach out. Justin's side must have leaked sothing linking Winston back to him, diverging from the original intention of hiring Justin to prevent information leakage.
Nevertheless, it's not the worst scenario since the leak hasn't spread entirely. Conversations with Winston can potentially temporarily contain news.
Over the weekend, after making sandwiches and coffee for Nia in the morning, Jimmy left ho. Nia still needs shift rotations, much more tiring than Jimmy could imagine. He finds himself in a cushy position, potentially lazing at the office unless he gives himself tasks.
Shanoke Golf Club is in Long Island, a high-end mber-only club Jimmy knows by na but never attended. Golf is unfamiliar territory for him, and unsure of any preparations, he arrived in his usual attire.
Jimmy's car slowly rolled onto the club's exclusive driveway, observing the surrounding environnt. Vast, orderly greens sectioned by trees occasionally revealed people standing or strolling, appearing relaxed.
He reached the Victorian-style building's entrance, seeing Charon and a club staff mber waiting. After Jimmy parked, the staff took his keys to relocate the car, while Charon stepped down from the stairs saying, "Long ti no see, Mr. Yang. Please follow ."
Jimmy shook hands with Charon, following him through the bronze doors into the building. The polished wooden floor and the European chandelier on the tall ceiling exuded warm yellow light. The hallway felt comfortable, devoid of any oppressiveness or solemnity.
With a faint, elusive lody in the air, Charon guided Jimmy to a reception room. Several paintings adorned light blue walls with an expansive window overlooking the golf course. Four single sofas ford a semi-circle nearby, with a wine rack across holding nurous bottles.
Winston with his back towards the door gazed outside. Upon introduction, Charon said, "Sir, Mr. Yang has arrived."
Winston turned, walked over, smiling as he shook Jimmys hand, "Jimmy, long ti no see. Please, have a seat."
Jimmy and Winston sat while Charon moved to the liquor rack, giving Jimmy and Winston a pour, then stood silently by with hands before his abdon.
Jimmy: "Long ti no see, Winston. How have things been lately?"
Winston: "Not bad. How does this place strike you?"
Jimmy: "Very nice. Though it's my first ti here, I've never played golf."
Winston: "That won't do. A man like you shall ascend, and places like this will beco frequent. Charon."
Charon handed Winston a card from his pocket, who passed it to Jimmy, "Take it. Rember to renew later."
Jimmy glanced at the mbership card, raised his eyebrows, "Thanks, Winston." He pocketed the card, "Seems familiar around here. Any interesting spots?"
