"Unfortunately,
what he's doing is not illegal, is it?"
Harry leaned forward and looked me straight in the eye. "No,
but the way he acquired his 7% share of Avalon Industries was."
"What do you mean?"
"He used strong arm tactics to get people to sell him their
stock. That's called extortion. And he'll probably
use strong-arm tactics to acquire the rest of Avalon Industries."
"Can you prove that?" I asked.
"Well, no, but I know it's true."
"Still, without proof..."
"I know, I know. If I had proof I wouldn't need your help."
"Ah, then this wasn't a chance encounter?"
"I leave nothing to chance, Winston."
I smiled.
"You will help, won't you?" Harry asked. He reinforced his
request with a gaze as sharp as the clothes he was wearing.
"Of course," I sighed.
"Good. I knew you wouldn't let me down. Winston,
you're one of the few people in this world today that I can count
on. I'll send Caroline to see you. Where are you
staying?"
"At the Kensington Park Hotel."
"A hotel?"
I shrugged.
"I hear it's a nice one," Harry said.
"Very accommodating."
