Ethan Gord picked his way through a group of foreigners spreading across the pavement then, with his hands buried deep in his pockets and his coat pulled high around his neck, he continued on towards the bridge. The day was cloudy, and the cold wind chilled his bones.

He reached the point where he had come so often before to weigh everything up, and turned, his eyes wide open, his head held high, the symbol of London standing proudly before him.

He studied the magnificent clock, and for an instant wished he could treat it like the tourists behind him were doing, their cameras immortalizing its splendour. But he hadn't looked at it that way for a long time. He sighed as a long limousine stopped in the middle of the bridge and one of the most despicable people he knew got out.

"It must be my lucky day," Dylan Blair said, walking towards him. The limousine drove on. "No one less than the champion himself. How are you, Ethan?"

"Suddenly intrigued. What exactly are you doing here? It's still early for you, if I'm not mistaken."

"I'm doing the same as you," Dylan said, turning to look at the clock. "I like to keep informed. How's your son, by the way? I heard he's got cancer. I'm sorry."

"Don't pretend you're sorry for me," Ethan warned him. "You're incapable of worrying about anyone other than yourself. Are you trying to tell me that the king of the party has come here because the final step worries him?"

"I'm worried about James White."

"More about yourself, I should think," Ethan replied. "It's Otis and Ashley that are putting everything on the line and you're worrying about James. When you're in one of those wheelchairs, I hope no one worries about your fortune."

"Take it easy. You seem very touchy today. I'm not your enemy, and it'll be a long while before I'm in one of those chairs. But when it happens, I hope it'll be Ashley's. I want to take charge of the Whites, at least, for as long as James is alive. Wasn't it like that when you were his boss?"

"I suppose what you mean is if he was conscious of what he really is. And the answer to that is yes. As far as I know, he always knew," Ethan paused. "Why do you like him so much?"

"He's an amusing chap. He's got a spark even when he's down. He doesn't stop saying that life stinks, though. It's his motto, but the truth is that he never bores me. Is he in danger? Is there a Black after him?"

"It's difficult to say," Ethan said, staring at Big Ben, "but I think it's more than likely."

"Come on. Tell me more. I don't know why it bugs you so much. I guess it's 'cause I don't understand anything. You're the expert. What's the problem in telling me? I could pay you. How about that? Ah, I forgot; money means nothing to you. Who doesn't like money? It's not natural."

"It's not so simple," Ethan replied.
