"Yes,
sir. It is quite a messy takeover attempt."
"Really?"
"There have been many complications."
"Well then, I suspect this takeover is the cause of Nick's field trial
failures. Diverted attention and all of that."
"Very likely, sir."
"He and Concorde will probably start winning again once he completes
his acquisition of that drug company."
"Spectrum Pharmaceuticals is more than just a drug company," James
said. "They also manufacture other chemical-based products
including one that can be sprayed into one's car to make it smell new
again. They even have a scent that supposedly duplicates the
smell of leather."
"How ghastly!" I said. "Of course, no one will ever be able
to duplicate the aroma of real Connally leather."
"Very unlikely, sir."
We returned to the Rolls and as James opened my door I noticed someone
in the far corner of the field beyond the barn.
"Who's that?" I said to James.
It was an older man and when he noticed us he hurried off.
"Rather suspicious behavior," James said.
"Perhaps we should have a look."
"Very prudent, sir."
I slid into the Rolls. James started the engine and drove
down the long lane toward the main road. As we came to the
intersection a black Mercedes sedan sped by.
"Isn't that him?" I asked.
"I believe so," James replied.
"I think he's going too fast for us to catch him."
"It would be a strain on the Rolls, but I could do it," James said.
"Yes, I know you could."
