Two persons, two hidden adversaries in the last few days who were moving pieces and tricks from behind, now were sitting opposite each other like a pair of old friends.
Both of them were appreciative of each other's capabilities, thus frankly, ignoring them being on opposite sides to each other, they weren't that adverse to each other. They came to see each other as equals.
Or At least, that was thought of Captain Cook as he saw this quiet Young man before him. But he was not sure what this Smart Youngster really thought of him. It was tough to read him.
Cook knew that he had the upper hand, but after trying to get to know him a bit more in the last three days. He had come to realize that no way this man could be on end ropes. He must have few cards left to play.
'Hmm…that's why he looks so indifferent?'
