Bob Charlton stopped his Chevy at a red light and dialled his office. It had barely rung once when Rudy answered. ‘Robert Charlton’s phone.’

‘Rudy?’ Charlton said.

‘Yes, sir. Where are you?

‘At the moment, stuck in downtown traffic. I’m on my way. I’ll be back in about five minutes.’

At the other end of the line, Rudy Baker paused, and glanced nervously around Charlton’s office.

‘Okay, sir,’ he said. ‘Is there anything you want me to do in the meantime? Look up something for you?’

Charlton’s voice said, ‘Good idea, yes. While you’re waiting, check the computer. See if the New York State Library was linked up with the main when we did that National Register of Historic Places thing a few months back. If it was, run down to Records and pull the plans. Get the blueprints and see if you can find out where the damn booster valve is.’

‘Uh… okay, sure,’ he hesitated again.

‘What is it, son?’ Charlton said. ‘Something wrong down there?

‘No, sir. Not here,’ Rudy lied. ‘I’ll see you when you get back.’

‘All right then.’ Charlton hung up.

In the office, Rudy leaned forward and switched off the speakerphone.

‘Well done, son,’ a voice behind him said. ‘Now, why don’t you just take a seat with the rest of us, and we can all wait here together until your boss comes back.’
