" I agree, Tom. However, the CEO and the board want us to continue to go for it energetically." Good!" So, as we discussed a fortnight or so ago, I'd ...ike you to take the other section leaders and whoever else they think they need back up to the site to make sure we've got all the information we need to get ahead on the plan to submit with the tender."Tom smiled inwardly. This was all good sense but it also suited Clive's plans, whatever they were, for Briony."Yes. Presumably you'll be calling. The Sheriff can’t do anything.”Which wasn’t entirely accurate.

He stared, read, and choked, and I nodded and hopped off to.
