A look of condescension crosses his face briefly--blink and you miss it--but you were meant to see it. "Ms...." he realizes he doesn't know your last name, "thank you for your concern. This is one of those possibilities one prepares for in this business. We have safeties in place and, while we will have to make sacrifices, we will survive."
He softens, ever so slightly. "I am careful who I discuss my business with. Who is this person you would speak to, and what would he want in return for his help?"
