Following their talk, Dominic's been keeping slightly closer tabs on Claudio Rodriguez.

What he sees doesn't surprise him, but he supposes that sort of information is what Camille intends to extract.

But, at least until she contacts him, he has other things to be looking after.

(The papers piling up on his desk are not, as the saying goes, going to

How someone knocks can tell you a lot about them; this knock is sharp and confident, two taps to get attention without being demanding about it.

[ofgreatinterest]

It's enough to get his attention, certainly. The pen in his right hand hovers a moment, and then set down flat on his desk.

"Come in."

The door opens, and Camille steps in. She leaves her hand on the door, and the door half open.

"Buenos dias," she says, because social conventions are social conventions.

[ofgreatinterest]

"Buenos dias."

A quick smile, and he gestures at one of the chairs in the room.

"Have a seat?"

[onlyneed1shot]

A pause as she thinks, and then she nods and lets the door close behind her.

"Having fun?" She asks, sitting down gracefully. Despite the clothes, it should be said; jeans and a blouse, all practical and comfortable.

[ofgreatinterest]

"As much as I'm ever expected to," he replies, shrugging.

(it is, perhaps, not a real answer)

"You are doing well?"

[onlyneed1shot]

"Quite well. I need to go hunt down some...information, though."

[ofgreatinterest]

"Do tell."

[onlyneed1shot]

"I should be back in a week or so."

[ofgreatinterest]

"Do you need anything else?"

[onlyneed1shot]

"Some cash for bribes," sorry, Dominic, but as she is doing this for you, you get to bankroll her. "If you had a little plane that might be handy, but if not I can work that out."

[ofgreatinterest]

He doesn't bother asking how much she'll need.

"I can have a jet waiting for you within three hours. A case with sufficient resources will be on it."

[onlyneed1shot]

A quick, business nod.

"That's in La Paz?"

[ofgreatinterest]

Equally quick, equally to-the-point: "Yes."

[onlyneed1shot]

Camille quickly calculates times and distances.

"Tomorrow, 9am?"

If she leaves now, that should work. Which she plans on doing.

[ofgreatinterest]

"Consider it done."
