Manhattan

A cab pulled up in front of a brownstone in the East 80's. At the same time, a dark car glided unobtrusively into a space in front of a fire hydrant some yards away and shut off its motor and lights. Its occupants, three men, had a good view of the difficulties the passenger was having getting out of the taxi.

"Cheap Jap bastard!"

Hideo Nakanishi ignored the driver's comment about the size of his tip and slowly and carefully placed one foot in front of the other as he unsteadily made his way across the sidewalk and up the few steps of the building.
