advise that you hold on to your existing equipment for awhile, in the meantime, you
can adapt it to do more types of work for very little cost. All that's required is a
bit of ingenuity from your agents to come up with new ways."
"Would you be prepared to help me?"
"It's been an agreement all along since I first met Ed that I would do that,
provided he kept his end of the bargain and he always did."
"We're not talking about Ed now, only me."
"Nothing's happened from my point of view to change the arrangement."
Margaret sat with a blank look on her face. "I can't believe what I've just been
advised, you've probably saved us thousands! How are you privy to this
advanced information?”
Will burst out laughing, he couldn't contain himself. "Go to any electronics
establishment that's worth it's salt anywhere in the country and ask a sixteen year
old apprentice and he'll tell you the same thing. You should have someone in the
group that's keeping you up-to-date, Tony could organize that I'm sure."
"I'll look into it, but in the meantime you'll still advise me?"
"Yes." Will stood up prepared to leave. "That's all, I hope."
"No, there's something more important I want to talk to you about. Can you
spare another half an hour or do you have to get back?"
"I can spare that much time, what's it all about?"
"All of my reorganization is now in place and working well, but there's one
element that's missing. It is only required occasionally, and needs your special type
of application." Will could feel history repeating itself, he knew what was coming
but could do nothing to stop it. The look on his face brought an immediate
response from Margaret, she moved over to sit next to him. "I know what you're
thinking Will, but just listen me out." She was close enough for Will to smell her
perfume. He discreetly turned his head to try and get out of range, it's presence
seemed completely alien to the nature of their conversation.
"I've been looking into your history and in the majority of cases, when you
move to new work, it seems that within a short period of time you get elevated to
positions of responsibility. I think the same thing will happen where you are now,
which will mean that you will get the opportunity of visiting the homes and business
places of notable people, here in Melbourne. When these occasions arise I want
to be in a position to ask you to look out for certain information."
