Boone complains that there is so much to do, and it is all so boring, and CO says, the good news is you have a new team member to help you. It is Graeber, who has been moves out of Eagle Squad. He has been put out of harm’s way on the netting detail for the duration of the joint association working group business day convention that is being held in town


Boone is unhappy but has no choice. He starts to train Graeber on netting and assigns him Luxembourg as his first jurisdiction. Boone’s attention is distracted for a moment and Graeber is gone. Boone chases him down to the Belgian Quartier where he finds him shaking down a Belgian netting attorney.

Boone is unhappy but has no choice. He starts to train Graeber on netting and assigns him Luxembourg as his first jurisdiction. Boone’s attention is distracted for a moment and Graeber is gone. Not realising netting is a largley a desk job, Graeber has made a beeline for an advocat's office in Av. John F Kennedy in the Belgian Quarter. Boone follows him and catches up with Graeber who shaking down a Belgian netting attorney, babbling mindlessly about aleatory contracts. Boone hauls him out and they remonstrate on the street by the ''Manneken Pis'' when Wickliffe’s silver sedan rolls by, catching Graeber’s attention. Wickliffe tells him to forget it

The pair shake down a Luxembourg netting counsel, who babbles insouciantly about aleatory contracts and is just about to launch into a lengthy description of what a company isn’t when they are distracted by the VIPs and motorcades rolling up to the conference. Graeber spots the grey sedan and calls boone’s attention to it. Boone sees ...  ''the child from the alpha den’’. She is dressed immaculately and bejeweled and in the company of ... Wickliffe.
 


Boone follows the pair into the L’Hôtel, where there is a surreal sequence like a ghost train of different sessions, plenary sessions, break out sessions, tea breaks and so on.
