miss you back at the office?"
"They can always get me on the phone. I can get more work done without
interruption."
"I don't suppose keeping the place secret was valid once Dan knew of it's
existence?"
"That's true, but as far as you and I are concerned I've taken out a service
contract with your company, so that when a service vehicle appears it's not
suspect. Furthermore, I can ask for you to be given the call on your way home, I
know that customers ask for their favourite engineer, so my asking for you will not
be out of place."
Will smiled. "I'd better bring my equipment up with me next time then, to
complete the picture."
"Yes, you're now officially my favourite engineer!"
Will outlined what had transpired at the Governor's mansion, and it could not
have been other than satisfactory to her. The case for security always amazed Will.
In the high profile areas there was precious little to be seen, but if you attempted
to breach the average company's office perimeter you could expect to be stopped
before you got across the threshold.
Will became engrossed in his work, there was plenty to do and hardly enough
hours in the day. Nothing of consequence happened that required phoning
Margaret but he knew that Tony would eventually make contact regarding the
young engineer. In the meantime, he was enjoying a welcome detachment from the
organization, hoping it would continue for awhile longer. There was one incident
that did occur however, which was in no way connected.
He was asked to do a job at a house in Toorak which was located next door
to the Prime Minister's residence. There was no partition fence between the
properties, the driveways practically merging into one as they curved out towards
the road. To keep the circular driveway clear Will parked his service vehicle
around the back and let himself in as instructed, as there was no one home. This
was not an unusual occurrence.
The fault was an intermittent one so Will had to set up his instruments to wait
for it to occur. He sat looking across the patio, it was so quiet and peaceful, he
could have relaxed back and closed his eyes but it would be fatal to be caught
asleep.
