It seems you slept well. I did as well, and that’s rare in my business. So you ask the hard question and then give me a way to refuse to answer. Well done, you measure up to the assessment we have made for perceptiveness. I suggest you stay focused on your goals and allow us to operate around that. The reason for your goals are the same as for our group, enabling women to better themselves by circumventing the oligarchs. Your manager put it well last night when she said what she told Sandals and Club Med. As to myself, there’s little that can be said. I have a past that trained me to be the operative you see. The oligarchs respect me for services rendered. They now suspect me yet know my skills and do not know who I now work for. And I’m happy with that situation at least for the time being.”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">I sip the coffee.

Let’s just say I was one of the boys who could hold my own even when outweighed. They appreciated how I planned and led the executions of the plans. Their own planner started coming to me. I left when I disagreed with one of their targets and threatened that mission. Don’t let your imagination run wild there, you don’t know and most likely never will so imagining is going to be wrong. That’s the way of that world and I’m glad to be quit of it and on my own.</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">“We are a loose organization. I know only two in the organization and don’t even know its name if it has one. It’s an organization of women in business and social politics as best I can tell. The goal is to promote more women doing good things for women wherever that may be. Potential members are suggest upward. Your name arrived I was told by someone who regularly participates in the so-called World Economic Summit at Davos, by one who may have been at your party last night, and by a third who was not described. I was told this as part of the suggestion that I look into your situation. Your membership would be handled by another, or not. I was asked to look after you because your problems were political and underworld. The several people who spoke with you before the party represent my work to date as well as you being here and away from that diamond thief. I plan to accompany you at least as far as New York and ensure no ill attaches to you while you attempt to fight off the ownership challenge to your company. By the way if you lose, a new company will arise so you’re fighting for little except the name. And that’s where my story stops. We’ll talk about getting you to New York and what happens there after lunch.”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><em>… I nod and listen … the Davos hint essentially names one of several of my banking contacts … someone who may have been in the room also suggests several women I’ve met in Jamaica while working on the first hotel … perhaps the Rasta queen herself … yet that matters little and joining this mysterious organization seems to have already occurred …</em></span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">“Thank you Asp, a very telling summary. I thank you for your service to me and offer my service to you and this organization. If that even needed saying, I guess. So I’m going to dress so we may go walking and eventually find lunch. Am I to assume our local friends will be hovering as they have been?”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">“Of course they will.
