will be in India tomorrow with the full safety of the police escort. The orders

                   keep coming in. So many people who want to shop with Kunstringen, The Art
                   Ring.

                          Claire smiles and answers “Yes it certainly isn’t bad news.

                          “The only pity is that I should have thought of this before.
                          “Don’t worry. Brian and Adrian are already out there, readying your

                   yacht. They’ll receive you as soon as you land. I need to do an inspection before,

                   but that’s it. As you, and your cargo, are the high priority target, I’m not dire need
                   for protection. The most important thing is you and  the art pieces reaching

                   India”
                          Gustav answers: “Yes, I’ve had contact with Adi and Bri, they’ll pick me up

                   tomorrow night. Oh, and by the way it was quite exciting with the Beuys’ show, it

                   was a great way for us to spend our last free evening together.”
                          Claire just keeps smiling as she’d done all night and takes a sip of her

                   wine.

                          At the table next to them sits a loving couple holding each other's hands.
                   It’s apparent that they’ve forgotten about the outside world, and is now

                   completely engrossed in each other and their infatuation. Gustav takes notices,
                   and for a brief moment he becomes in doubtful of his own actions; does he really

                   spend enough time treating Claire as the girlfriend she is. The last few weeks of

                   hard work, has made an impression on her, and he can see that has actually
                   benefitted their relationship, even though they are both worn out of all the

                   stress.

                   For many years they have been able to run businesses more quietly, back when
                   she was just his mistress, not long after he got divorced as he caught by his wife.

                          Emilio is now back at their table with a large tray containing two big

                   bowls of steaming hot soups, white napkins, bread and cutlery are ready. The
                   starters are served.
