Chapter Three Two weeks had passed since I last saw Gideon. Things at the office seemed a little worse and business was not getting any better. Our newly-invented device was not selling as we’d expected. We were fast approaching another financial crisis. In the past few years, it began to seem as though my life had been a journey from crisis to crisis with only brief pauses in between. Then, unexpectedly, I had to make a trip to the Midwest. A potential account we had been courting for the past six months suddenly exhibited tremendous interest in our product. It would be a short trip, just two days. All travel and hotel arrangements made, it was soon time to leave. No matter how many times I’ve flown, there’s always a sense of excitement as I approach an airport. The noise of the jets generate thoughts of faraway places that intrigue me, but this was a business trip and all my thoughts had to be concentrated on the matter at hand. 26
After a pleasant flight, it was but a short cab ride to my hotel. I would be ready in the morning for my meeting with Mr. Seymour, the head of the company. I had never met Mr. Seymour in person but hoped he would receive my proposal in a favorable manner. A good night’s rest and I would be raring to go, I thought. As I was filling out the necessary registration form, the desk clerk smiled and said, “We have a message for you, Mr. H.” I opened the note. It stated simply that M. Tarkas would meet me later. Perhaps it was Mr. Seymour’s idea to send someone to meet me. I went to my room, unpacked my small overnight bag and took a quick shower. Then I phoned home to let everyone know I’d arrived safely. <strong>When</strong> it was time for dinner, I went down to the dining room. As I was walking across the lobby, a lady stepped up to me and said, “Hi! I’m Marla Tarkas. <strong>You</strong>’re John!” “Should I know you?” I asked, momentarily startled. “Gideon told me you’d be here and asked that I offer my help.” Ah, here we go, I thought. Gideon again. And I hadn’t seen him in weeks. Who was this woman, anyway? How had Gideon known about my trip? Perhaps, he had called my office and someone had mentioned it to him. But my secretary never gives out that kind of information. I must admit that I resembled a giant question mark as I stood there looking at Marla. She smiled at me sweetly. “May I join you for dinner? We’ll talk more then.” I nodded numbly and we went to the dining room. <strong>When</strong> we were seated, I looked at Marla with evident discomfort. She was beautiful but had a distant look, as if deep in 27
