Darius made a note of the coffee shop Jane mentioned in Brooklyn, though he wondered if "The Beanery" just down the street wouldn't have whole bean specialty coffees.  He didn't really want to travel too far out of his comfort zone.  But pastries?  That was a weakness of his as well.<br/><br/>"I have three crime novels published.  Love Me Deadly, Killer in the Shadows, and Death in the Snow.  Only the first one has hit the best-seller list, but all have made a profit for me and my publisher.  As long as my books are making a profit, my publisher lets me write whatever I want.  I like that kind of freedom."<br/><br/>It was fortunate that Darius's back was to Jane as he reached for the coffee pot to pour her another cup.  She didn't see how he cringed when she said she was a journalist. Agent Garfield had been very specific that Nathan should avoid members of the media.  Even ones from 25 cent newspapers.  And especially ones who were keen on reporting on crime and the mob.  It was unfortunate to have all the above in a next door neighbor.  How could the Witness Protection Program have missed that when they were relocating him here?  Maybe a journalist from a 25 cent newspaper was too "small-time" to register on their radar.<br/><br/>Calming himself, he turned to pour her another cup of coffee as he asked "So, what kinds of stories do you report on, Jane?"
