resisted the temptation to grab the man by the throat and teach him some respect. But that would have to wait until this deal was done. There was still a role to play, and Tragg continued with his award-winning performance. The plan must go on.

      “Sorry, sir. By the time I got back in the room the Turk had already accepted the other buyer’s offer. He must have been using us as a ploy to raise the price.”

      “That’s what I don’t understand. If that was the intention, why not convert it into a bidding war? He certainly could have upped his take.”

      Bruns sighed again and said, “Make them comfortable in the waiting room. I’ll be there shortly. Do not proceed without me, understand?” He hung up and had a distracted expression on his face.
