Working in the Tribune was hard enough for any journalist and still you had to add the fact that you were a woman, in those days when most of the bosses were men many women with real talent were given small treats, Irena was one of those ladies, just a look at her and you would realize that she irradiated class and talent and if she was up for the risk she would had her story.

She had ordered a capuccino, Morton had it black just with a hint of sugar, the coffie had the magic of making her coughing stop, now that she had composed herself she crossed her legs and looked at Special Agent Morna avidly waitting for the promissed answers, wow, this lady really deserved this story.

Morna cleared his throat discretly and said -"Well as you already said it will be in the papers in all Chicago soon enough, but of course I cannot give away too much info, so I'll tell you this, the ex-moviestar Fanny May Mc Roth was the last person seen in company of Alderman Maroni who was poisoned, Mrs Mc Roth has a list of five or six ex-husbands some of whom died under strange circumstances, right now she remains in custody, you could interview her in prision if you like, can't give you more details of the subject but Mc Roth claims that it was Mr Bruno Venetti -the very owner of this hotel- who sent the bottle of poisoned wine to frame her, I can't confirm or deny that, perhaps if you ask him, just be careful of what you ask the man has a gangster reputation, and of course there is Bruno's brother Vincenzo Venetti allegady asociated with the North Siders band, who could be best to 'spill the beans' about Bruno than Bruno's baby brother?".

By the expression of her beautiful face he could tell that she wasn't informed of some of the things he had just said, he smiled at her and took a sip of his coffie.
