The delegate suddenly became very businesslike. "I'm afraid that's all the information I can give you, Major." He offered his hand. "So nice to see you again.

"Well, Val," he asked, a frown creasing his forehead, "what is it?" The rival advanced a short step and looked up. "So this is the guy who's trying to do me out of my rights?"
