The city was bustling at this time of the year. Not only was it a tourist attraction for a lot of out of towners come to visit the many historical attractions, but it also was the destination of hundreds of college students and coeds during spring break. Plenty of concerts, parties, and shopping galore were available for all the visitors.
Down at the docks, though, was another side of the city that the police have tried to close down but have had no success. Along Pier 33 was the facilities of Santiago Salvage and Shipping. Owned by Manuel Santiago, his office in the top floor of a huge warehouse, he managed a large salvage business, taking in scrap metal and recyling it for new use. He also had the contract for the harbor tugs, which provided help for the numerous merchant ships that left and entered the harbor for discharge and loading of their cargo. He also owned a merchant ship of his own, the Ning PO, a merchant ship under Japanese flag but its captain took his orders and his salary from Santiago.
Santiago sat behind his desk in his office, a large oak hand crafted desk with a highback executive chair. The office furniture, hutch, and other chairs were also handcrafted oak. His desk was neatly organized with files for the legitmate side of the business, and he paroused through each file, signing off where he needed to. His 'illegitimate' files were kept in an office hutch off to the right of his desk. It was secured using a combination cyphon lock. His tailor made black suit coat hung on the back of his chair. He was dressed otherwise in a white button down shirt, matching tie, business vest, and black pants. He ran his right hand through his medium length black hair, his brown eyes studied the file in front of him.
That was the legitmate side of the business. The illegitimate side of house involved a huge gunrunning operation, where crates of weapons of various types, calibers, as well as ammunition were procured, stolen, or both, and then crated and packed for delivery to terrorist cells or whoever was able to pay the price for them. Santiago was also into human trafficking, prostitution and a protection racket where he extorted thousands of dollars from owners of small shops and warehouses around the docks and the city blocks that bordered on the waterfront.
