I caught the train back to the city centre.I wandered around for a bit, found a bar and ordered a drink. I was a bit stunned. If I could get a hundred... grand for the two sets, then I’d be set for a while. I could start looking for a place to set up my business.I thought about how I would get the stuff I wanted to keep, off the island, I’d need a boat for sure. I could land in the cove and transport the items down to it. A Tuesday would be the best day, I decided. The problem was that I couldn’t. I have backdoors... teleporting backdoors...

I dropped the latch closed, and Yarno was locked inside the shed! I had him now, so what was I to do with him? It didn't take me long to decide.
