AFTER THEIR INITIAL ARGUMENT AND ONE OF THE SECRETS PIET HELD CLOSE TO HIS CHEST WAS OUTED IN A FASHION, blind rage had followed from that and made worse when men under the employ of the dock were arrested. That matter was resolved fast yet that implication was still there and trust wavered from the men which would not be tolerated or left unanswered. Some of the goods were returned to Nalan Das although most had been consumed by the flames and given as fuel for one of the smaller bonfires on the festival. Not satisfied with that, Piet ventured to the Das house to deliver what remained when the staff assumed he was there for a social call and insisted admittance to the drawing room. The bag of soot was left on a table with a note that read “your goods” addressed to Nalan and Piet was about to leave when he saw the very man in the doorway. “I came to deliver your outstanding goods. I agreed to give them to you but made no specifications on the condition. Enjoy them.”
