With a shudder, Mikaela flipped the tele’s off switch. They are so angry, she thought. I hope I never meet HIM in a dark alley!

Well, I need to get going. I’ll talk with Josh first. She rose from her chair and made the journey down to Josh’s office.

Josh looked up from his work just as Mikaela entered his office. “How's tricks?” She asked.

Josh let out a chuckle. “Funny you should ask.”

Mikaela grinned. “I'm going up to a meeting. They're going to want to know what our short position on silver is. Are you current on that?”

“Yes,” Josh replied. “We've sold about 3 billion ounces short.”

“Wow,” Mikaela smiled. “You guys have been busy. There's only 1 billion ounces of silver above ground.”

“Yeah. Well, we've sold a bunch that doesn’t exist. But don't worry. The regulators are covering for us. We have 'em on the payroll, and they’ll do whatever we tell 'em.”

Mikaela hesitated, frowning. “Did you hear about the ruckus over at Millbank?”

Josh raised his eyebrows. “No. What happened?”

“There’s a mob over there protesting loss of benefits for school, or some such nonsense.”

Josh shrugged. “Why is that important?”

“Well, they had to call in the police and take a bunch of people to jail.”

“And?”

“And,” Mikaela met his gaze, “it’s in our backyard.”
