Chapter 5

Preston smiled and told Graham to focus on buying one car before thinking about more.Graham thanked him and walked out into the sun.Laya moved the moment Preston turned toward his office. She pulled up the intake calendar, confirmed the 9:00 appointment was listed and active, verified that the account profile matched Waypoint Mobility's registered business information and included a pre-authorized financial summary prepared by Avery's team, printed the screen, and walked directly into Preston's office to place it on his desk.He read it, set it down, and said someone had used a real company's name to gain access to the showroom floor. Laya pointed out that every contact detail in the profile had verified independently, that the financial summary had been prepared by a recognized law firm, and that the individual on the floor had given his name as Graham Keen, which matched the appointment record precisely. Preston said he had been doing this long enough to recognize a serious client and that the conversation was over.What followed took less than ten minutes. He accessed the showroom management system with his administrative credentials, located the Waypoint appointment in the 9:00 slot, and deleted it.He returned to the floor and announced, at a volume calibrated to be heard by the nearest customers without appearing to be raised, that the appointment in question had not been properly entered, and that the individual claiming to represent a corporate fleet had either arrived at the wrong location or was misrepresenting himself. Chase added to the two colleagues within earshot that it wasn't the first time someone had tried to use a company name for a free tour of the inventory.The ambient jazz on the showroom sound system gave the laughter that followed a quality that would have been difficult to describe precisely, except that it was fully audible.Graham, still in the lot, checked the clock above the service bay entrance: 9:34. He had two hours and twenty-six minutes.
