[AR06] - A friend of X-9, Sydney George Harper, is handed a letter to give to X-9. That missive asks for a meeting in Philadelphia and comes from a member of crimeboss Slanteye Maroni's gang. The topic is Maroni's new scheme dealing with Prince Abdullah, an Egyptian coming to the US with the "finest collection of jewels in the world".
