It is Friday morning in London.
Somewhere on the north circulate James sits behind the wheel of a removal lorry, stuck in traffic. They had loaded up the van the day before, somewhere in the home countries, and had spent the night outside the city with the aim to arrive at the house and unload at midday. James mopped his brow, foreseeing a difficult day ahead. A combination of a long breakfasted followed by the news that his mate couldn't make it meant he was left with the impossible task of unloaded a van full of rather fine looking furniture all on his own. The husband, who had overseen the loading, had been a stern egotistic business man. James wasn't looking forward to meeting the wife who was due to meet them at the other end.
Somewhere in an office in Islington Michael sits behind his desk at a solicitors. He sips his coffee, brought to him, he remembers a little disappointingly, by Mrs Mason the elderly secretary, rather than the new girl... now what was her name? He runs an eye over the paper work on his desk. A few meeting but it being Friday the main thing is to ensure the exchanges go smoothly with the house sales being completed that day. No reason why not, he thinks, but he sometimes has to do things quickly just in case. Mind you, if that is the case he always gets to charge double.
Somewhere outside a house in Highgate Nathan stands outside a blue front door, impatiently swinging a set of keys in his hand. This would be his first house sale, well the first he has overseen independently, and it would be a good one that would contribute a nice commission to his miserly take home pay. For the sixth time he glanced up the street, waiting for the purchaser to arrive, and then glanced at his phone, waiting for confirmation from the solicitor that the money had been transferred. So far neither had happened and no money meant no key meant no commission.
