“There were plenty of other calls before I fell asleep: from my father, Hugh Morgan, Ryan, the journalists and fund managers, but none from Stephen Vance. Now when I wake the first thing I do is reach for the phone and call him. But he’s switched off his mobile, and at his home I get the answering machine. Crawling out of bed, I check the clock: 6.30 a.m. After ringing my driver, I drag myself into the shower. During the next twelve hours the fate of Carlton Brothers will be decided.Downstairs, ...eating toast, I make more calls. Gary Leicester hasn’t heard from Vance either, he wants to know if there’s anything new he can feed the press. I tell him he’ll have to keep pushing the same line, and that Vance should be in contact soon. Next I call Gordon Fields, his wife answers. She says he’s already left for the office. Good old Gordon. I consider calling Sir John, but decide against it. He can’t help us now, and my father has probably spoken to him anyway.I drop my plate into the sink and drink my orange juice.MoreLess Read More Read Less
