My window of opportunity grows short. So I'll be brief.
This is my offer: meet me at the specified location at that time, and assist me with lifting an access code from a decommissioned research facility.
[Left hand lifts, is turned palm-up as her index finger flicks out] For your time, you get a quarter of that sum up front, regardless of success or failure. [Middle finger extends, counted off with her right hand] If we're not successful, or you get cold feet, we part company and you take that money, no strings attached and no word back to Vic.
[It would be simply awful if he learned you couldn't keep up your end of a contract, wouldn't it.]
If we're successful, we meet at a designated fallback point, and you'll receive the next quarter.
And then [third finger stretches out, joining the first two] we discuss the second target. But only if you're still interested.
