acquiescent.
    Morag came and stood behind him and massaged his shoulders. Dutronc acquiesced with a small smile.
    Live Corp was a niche market specialist Hedge Fund. They invested in the service of human weakness and were strong in drink, drugs, and sex. They had a simple philosophy built around the theory that ‘evil was good’ for business.
    The purchase of Apple shares had been back in the day when it was held in certain quarters that the cell phone was the root of evil. Opinions had changed since but Live Corp had held on as the shares had preformed beyond all expectations.
    â€œHuman weakness is still a viable philosophy. Lots of people want to use cell phones,” Morag soothed.
    â€œIt has been our winner for a while now but the hedge fund needs to find a new star. Something that will rise and rise,” Dutronc said.
    â€œProblem is there is not enough evil,” Maedbh soothed further.
    â€œDisagree Maedbh,” Dutronc said disengaging from her smoothing massage. It was time for their usual routine of scanning the Divisional reports and replying to the afternoon post.
    Maedbh sat and took out her notebook.
    â€œMaedbh the world is rife with evil. We need to get a bigger market share,” Dutronc said mildly.
    â€œYes sir,” Maedbh said agreeably.
    â€œAnything special?” Dutronc asked, picking up the divisional reports.
    â€œA couple of good assassinations. Also there is a quirky item from Technical that I think is worth attention,” Morag summarized.
    â€œQuirky?”
    â€œMy area, M for magic.”
    â€œWe’ll get to that but first the assassinations. They seem to be doing rather a lot of it in Russia? Perhaps we need to ease back? I really think assassination should be a last resort in business. Who organized them?”
    â€œOrganized by the A Division as usual. R division requested them. It seems the police in consort with lawyers in Russia tried to rip us off. R division said the only way to sort it was to kill them. They said the Russian courts were no use.”
    â€œNo real respect for property law in Russia,” Dutronc agreed. “Better they are careful whom they pick as partners in future rather than to have to assassinate,” he added.
    â€œNoted.”
    â€œMorag, I think maybe an appointment with Weinstein, he’s R division is he not? I’ll talk to him.”
    â€œDone,” Morag promised.
    â€œMorag where are we on the water project. This is the key project for your area,” Dutronc asked.
    â€œWe are very advanced sir,” Morag reassured. “We need to recruit one more key person for the team.”
    â€œAre you on schedule? Our trading room will have to make forward financial commitments and your timetable is critical Morag.”
    â€œWe are on schedule Sir. You can give the go ahead to the Hedge Fund Traders,” Morag said.
    â€œGood, well done so far Morag. Who is this extra person you need?”
    â€œNot critical but important for plan B,” Morag said.
    â€œHow is plan B?”
    â€œWe have put in the extra tunnel as you suggested Sir,” Morag reassured.
    â€œGood, good, anything else?”
    â€œI need a trip to Ireland for the target recruit. I have someone in mind.”
    â€œI’ll let you lead on that Morag. Anything else.”
    â€œSomething I might use the trip to Ireland to investigate,” Morag said.
    â€œSomething quirky you said?”
    â€œI put it on top of your reports Sir. The technical research group thinks they may have spotted something. It’s from an Irish Times report.”
    â€œYes?”
    â€œMaybe nothing, maybe something,” Morag said as Dutronc read the report.
    â€œTwo missing feared dead, off the Blasket Islands in Kerry,’ Dutronc read out loud.
    â€œThat was the headline but search parties found nothing,” Morag added.
    â€œSo?” Dutronc prompted.
    â€œThe paragraph on local superstitions is
