Alistair's heart skipped, but he quickly steadied himself, nodding politely as he

passed.

Gordon didn't move. A few seconds later, he said, "Hold on."

Alistair paused, inwardly sighing. He turned with the composed half-smile of

"Something on your mind, Mr. Gordon Ashbourne?"

Gordon's tone was direct. "The reason you didn't want my
