Claire roughly snatched the paper from the man's hand.

Claire mumbled to herself. She needed to give this to Nathan as soon as possible.
The paper-man stopped her right where she was.

The man nodded, not interested in the conversation one bit as his eyes searched the table for the papers.

Claire was just dumb. Every piece of puzzle was slowly coming together, or least how she could see it.

His mind got working.Nathan doubted the files having his signature would be in the house but he had to give it a shot.Talk about way over your head!"So...Now that Boulderfist is yours what do you intend to do with it?"Adriana gave him a bemused look crossing her slender legs in the most intimidating manner."What makes you think I want your company? If it was left to me I would have it to the ground but he has other plans."Her answer got Nathan more curious,"Who? Your father!"She didn't reply.
