CH: What brought you to Chicago?
BM: Times were hard in my hometown of Houston, Some of my buddies and I had a sweet deal with imports and prohibition had taken hold, promises were made. I heard tell of opportunities in Chicago and figured it was time to make a break. Just out of the blue I got a call from a General I served under who heard I was in town and he gave me a job as a bodyguard.


CH: Tell us a bit about your background.
BM: Was born and raised in a small Texas town called Washington on the Brazos. When I was old enough I was sent by my father to Houston to find work. Was a bit of a jack of all trades and then came the war. I joined and did my bit and was told by my officers I had a natural talent. Came back battered and bruised but with a lot more than I left with in many ways.


CH: I know you’re always very busy, but fill us in on your daily tasks.
BM: I wake make coffee, read the paper and call the General to see where he needs me to be. The rest of my day is pretty much spent making sure his daughter is safe.


CH: What do you like to do in your spare time you find?
BM: In the service I acquired metal working, and electronics skills among others that I try my best to keep up to date and honed to a fine edge.


CH: What was your proudest moment in regards to Chicago?
BM: Being hired for the position of Miss Foley's bodyguard.

CH: If you were offered one million dollars or the ability to have one superpower for the rest of your life, what would you choose and why?
