The room was a semi-tight fifteen-by-fifteen space, walled off from the workshop many decades previously, in a fairly arbitrary position, to do with power lines, possibly. The walls looked like single-skin brick, plastered smooth and painted with shiny institutional paint, dull green in color, like pea soup. There was a window with a metal frame, with a desk under it, and three armchairs. No gun cabinets. No closets. Just a place for doing business, like a salesman’s office behind a lot full of ten-year-old cars.

The guy said, “Please take a seat,” and when we didn’t he took one himself, going first, perhaps as an example, or a reassurance.

We took a seat.

The guy said, “What are you looking for?”

I said, “What have you got?”

“Handgun?”

“Two. We both carry. People don’t expect that.”

“What do you like?”

“Anything that works. And that you’ve got ammunition for.”

“Mostly we have nine-millimeter. It’s easy to get in Europe.”

“Works for me.”

“You like Glock?”

“Is that what you’ve got?”

“It’s what we’ve got most of. Glock 17s, brand new, if you want a matching pair.”

“And a hundred rounds each.”

The guy paused a beat, and then he nodded, and he said, “I’ll go get you a price.”

He got up out of his chair, and stepped out of the room.

He closed the door behind him.

And locked it.
