         Sam Adams, aka “Big Daddy” was an undercover operative for the CIA doing contract work for them, specializing in “wet work”. He operated from the Cosmos coffee shop and bar in Soi Cowboy, Bangkok, Thailand. He was called “Big Daddy” because he was an ex-football linebacker, 6 feet 6 inches of pure muscle. Many people around the world wanted to kill him for revenge, as he had taken out lots of high-level people. In the Cosmos Coffee shop, he was known simply as the common-law husband of Madam, Kuhn Lek. No one in the bar knew his real identity except Kuhn Lek who had vowed to keep his secrets in return for a share of his ‘contract” fee.

         One day, a mysterious drop-dead gorgeous middle-aged Korean woman, dressed in a stunning red dress, came to the bar, asking for Sam Adams by his nickname, “Big Daddy”. He came over, and she said that she was a Korean woman on the lam from her ex-husband and needed Big Daddy’s help in laundering money. He promised to pass the message to Big Daddy but asked her if she could pay the fee.

         She said,

“          Depends on the fee.”

“          A night with me making wild passionate love.’

         “Deal, but you will be sorry to have met me,” she said and went to his room.

         As Koreans say,

“Ishimchongshim” Sparks flew from heart to heart”

         And Big Daddy had the “Love Jones” for this mysterious woman, he was smitten. There is never enough time, he thought as she went to his room for the promised night of wild passion.

          In the morning, while eating the legendary American breakfast buffet at the Cosmos Bar the best in town, according to those in the know, she smiled and said,
“
         “I know who you are. You could not fool me. You are Sam Adams, Big Daddy.”

         He said,

         “Yeah, so what?”

         She pulled out a gun, shot him dead, and said,

         ”That’s what, Big Daddyo. My ex-husband sent me to kill you because you stole 50 million dollars from him. Relax, this is strictly business, nothing personal. I enjoyed last night, but I did warn you that you would be sorry to have met me. Oh, And thanks for breakfast, it is indeed the best breakfast spread in town.’ and she disappeared, never to be seen again.
