Nexus had been at the meeting.
Never had he seen such a brazen display of remorselessness.
"Well, we're here now," he shrugged; "And Mrs. Russell is now the legal owner of this prime piece of real estate. So what's the move here? What does she plan to do with her newfound lands?"

"What do you mean you don't know?" Nexus asked in surprise.
They were strolling through the plains- heading towards west with the sun behind them and threading the green grass under their boots.
"Actually, it's not that I don't know," Nora was speaking now; "It's just that the plan simply isn't there. She's still trying to figure it all out. . .she wanted to rent it out to farmers to get an immediate cash flow. . .but–"
Nexus' tone took a dive- finishing it up for her;
"But she only recently found out that the land's barren- isn't it?"
"Yeah. I guess so. . ."
