Jamie had always envisioned meeting Green at a small hotel or obscure restaurant, but now that he had left Telegraph, he had no problem going directly to the Greenwich offices. In fact, it was something of a relief to be out in the open.

When Jamie arrived for the meeting, he half expected Green to be waiting at the front door of the building. He went upstairs and announced his arrival to the receptionist, and sat down to read the Wall Street Journal as he waited.

Spotting Jamie from across the room, Vince noticed immediately that he seemed to have aged since he had seen him just a year earlier. That place must have worked the guy over, he thought.

“Hello, Jamie.” Vince interrupted Jamie’s reading.

With a level of confidence that Vince had not remembered, Jamie returned his greeting. “Well, hello there, Vince. It’s good to see you again.”
