coast. It’s near Chechnya, Georgia and the Ukraine. It’s kind of
where Europe, Asia and the Middle East all come together.
    “Not anywhere near Moscow then?” Jim asked.
    “Nae, aboot seven or eight hundred miles away, I would
think!”
    “Chechnya, I don’t like the sound of it. I’m sure I’ve heard
a lot in the news about wars there!” Linda added, sounding concerned.
    “Aye, there have been troubles in the region. And, I have
been aroond that area myself a few years ago. But, I have nae been tae the
actual city of Sochi, so I need tae check it oot.”
    “So, what’s going on? Have you run out of energy old man?”
Tiffany joked, as she came over to see what the little meeting was about. Jim
smiled at her, but didn’t say anything.”
    “Scott’s just checking out the area in Russia, where your
brother wants to visit,” Linda said.
    “Aye, actually I’m going tae go inside and make some phone calls.
Can I use yer computer?” Scott asked.
    “Sure, I’ll get it for you,” Linda replied.
    Jim and Tiffany went back to their game. Linda went back
into the house with Scott and gave him her laptop computer.
    “Scott, feel free to use the home phone too,” she said, as
she walked back towards the door to go outside. Scott walked upstairs to his
room, sat on the bed and started to do some research on the computer. There
were a few people he wanted to speak to as well, to get some information. It
was time to earn his money.

 
    A few hours passed with Scott hard-at-work. He called many people
for advice and found out a lot of information from the internet. When he had
done all he could with the laptop and a few calls, he went back downstairs. Jim
was sitting in the living room watching TV, while Linda and Tiffany lounged by
the pool reading.

 
    “Hey Jim, I have some information fer yer now. I’m still
waiting fer a couple of people tae call me back, but I’ll tell yer what I know
so far,” Scott said, as he approached Jim and sat down next to him.
    “Okay Scott, what have you found out?” he said, taking a
deep breath.
    As Scott started talking, Linda came in from outside and
joined them on the couch. Tiffany remained outside in the sun, with her book.
    “Reet, I have got mixed reports aboot the area. Tae be
honest, it does nae seem tae be the most dangerous place he could go tae. But,
on the other hand, it’s still in a country where corruption is rife. There are
reports of gang activity in the region, human trafficking, drugs, etc. The
local police force is average, although there are rumors of corruption. On the
plus side, the casino is legal. Yer have tae have a license tae open one there
and tae get the license yer have tae have a clean criminal record. I have
someone doing a background check tae find oot who registered the paperwork fer
the casino. And, I also have someone checking oot the Pavlyuchenko name in the
area.”
    “What do you think Scott? I’m not sure what to think,” Jim
said, somewhat confused.
    “I do not like it at all! I’d rather he didn’t go over there.
Why can’t he just invest in one of our casinos?” Linda added.
    “I’ve already offered him that. Many times! He is young and stubborn.
He wants to do his own thing,” Jim stated.
    “Look, I am nae trying tae upset either of yer. It’s quite
possible he could go over there, spend a few days and come back withoot any
problems. It could all be perfectly safe and legitimate. As soon as I hear back
from the last couple of people I contacted, I will give yer both my honest
opinion. Just as I promised yer.”
    “Thanks Scott. I know you understand why we’re worried.”
    “Aye Jim, I do.”
    “Do you think you’ll hear back from anybody today?” Linda
asked.
    “I’m nae sure. But, it is possible. There’s a guid chance
I’ll hear something afore I leave tomorrow. And, if I dinnae hear anything by
then, I’ll call yer when I do.”
    “Okay, thanks.” Linda said. She still appeared distressed
with
