Steve Burton didn't chat very long before getting up to leave. On his way back to the company, he received a call from Rusell Henris who told him he was at a club on West 2nd Ring Road entertaining clients from France and asked when he would arrive.
Steve replied "Right away," took a turn, and got onto the second ring road.
The capital city's second ring road was often congested. Steve spent forty minutes driving just a few kilometers. The club's underground parking was full, so he casually parked his car by the side of the road before entering the club.
Following the directions Rusell had sent, Steve easily found their private room where a server was half-kneeling on the ground, brewing aromatic green tea.
The French clients had brought a few small gifts, including a pair of binoculars made in Freedonia. It was a new product that could clearly see scenes over 100 meters away.
