Eugene looked over the dining table. It was perfect! His guests would be impressed. He had worked hard on it all day.

He decided to have a little party for his new friends. It had been ages since he had a party. All he wanted was to have a little fun. He never had any fun nowadays.

Eugene had moved two times in the last six months. There was no way Kenny the Kibosh was going to find him in this little burg. This wasn't a place anyone whoever expect him to live. Hell, he didn't even believe he lived here.

The worst thing he had ever done was agree to testify against a known mob boss. He believed it was his civic duty to tell the truth. Boy, was he wrong.

If Eugene had known he was going to have to hide in the middle of nowhere for months, he would have never agreed to speak up. The trial was still months away and he was dying out here in the burgs.

The doorbell rang and Eugene went to the door. He smiled and opened the door. He went pale as soon as he saw who was at the door.

"How ya doin Gene?" Kenny pushed past Eugene and walked into the house. "Havin a do I see. My invite must have gotten lost in the mail."

"Hey Kenny. What are you doing out of jail?" Eugene asked as he shut the door.

"I'm on bail." Kenny grinned. He picked up a strand of Mardi Gras beads. "You like it here in the middle of nowhere?"

"Well I did." Eugene looked at Kenny's hand holding the beads. "Wanna stay for dinner? Since you're here and all."

"Naw just stopped by to say hi and if you rat on me …." Kenny stretched the beads between his hands. "I'll kill you."

"Okay." Eugene swallowed.

Kenny patted Eugene on the cheek. "Good man." He looped the beads over Eugene's head. "If I were you I'd find another place to live where noone can find you. Not even me."

"I'll look into it." Eugene looked at the beads around his neck. "Right away."

"Looks like you're going away party is going to be a blast." Kenny grinned. "No offense but I hope to never see you again, Gene."

"Uh huh." Eugene watched as Kenny walked to the door. He picked up a bottle of champagne. He gave it a swing and hit Kenny on the head. Kenny went down and out.

Eugene grinned. He pulled his emergency phone out of the drawer and called his handlers.

"Hey Frank. Kenny found me and he's out cold on my floor…… I know he's out on bail now. You need to come and get him. Now! I have a party about to start in an hour….. Should I tie him up? … Fine but you need to hurry. I don't know how long he'll be out."

Ten minutes later, Eugene held the back door open as Frank led Kenny out in handcuffs.

"Thanks Eugene. He won't get out again." Frank promised.

"Oh one more thing." Eugene looped the Mardi Gras beads over Kennys head. "I'm gonna have a great party now." He kissed Kenny on the cheek. "Thanks Kenny."
