James Sterling's eyes darted, and he smiled, replying: "Sorry, Bob, I'd love to help you, but we were late and don't know the full story. However, I know some people who saw more clearly and understand more comprehensively at the time. They might be willing to accept your terms. Would you like to know their phone number?"
"Oh? Thank you so much."
"No problem, are you in New York?"
"Of course."
"There's a 24-hour cafe called Bodega in the Arlo SoHo in SoHo. I'm hungry and plan to grab a snack. We can meet there in about an hour."
"OK."
