This week I was hit by a very nasty gastric virus going around the office and I'm only just getting my strength back. I slept and read most of the time, but today I actually wrote a scene, over 550 words.

I may have to abandon my target as I doubt I'll reach either 10,000 words or the end of the story.

Anyway. Servalan is meeting with Bercol and Rontane.

An excerpt:

"It occurred to us that you are incarcerated," said Bercol.

"With so little chance to spend your accumulated monies," said Rontane.

"Which we could help you with," said Bercol.

"You see, when I left the president's service, I did so with the presidential stationery and the a copy of the presidential seal," said Rontane.

"Planning ahead can be so useful," said Bercol.

"And profitable," said Rontane.

For those who are fans of these two, all is not as it seems. I'm not sure that I'll reveal what they're up to before the story's finished though. :-)
