I'm writing a story about a man who works for a big crime boss during the 1800s. Sorry, the idea is kinda long!
A crime boss, stationed in who specializes in selling opium, which he receives from a Chinese immigrant, a powerful man with many allies, who works in San Francisco during the 1880s, goes to a secret warehouse where he normally receives his shipments and finds a wagon emptied, the drivers murdered, weapons gone.
He begins to suspect that the Chinese man, who is named Yung Shao Fat, nicknamed California Fat, murdered the drivers and is sending hitmen to murder the Boss, so he retaliates by sending one man, the protagonist, to murder Yung Shao Fat and his accomplices, who the Boss believes to be his own employees turned traitor.
The protagonist stays at a small town in Southern California in which everyone but the local priest seems hostile. He assumes it's because he's a newcomer and the town is small.
He stays at an inn and the town seems to have taken an extreme interest in him. The Salon's bartender's daughter is a little younger than him and is shy at first, but begins to talk to him. She and the priest, who has now developed a great friendship with the protagonist, cause him to forget the reason he has been sent after California Fat.
I don't know where to go from here; any ideas?
