Tao, his translator, and Brucie Kibbutz enter the office.
Because Tao's uncle is the head of the Cheng family, neither Agatha nor Tao can do anything about it. As a customer, the Protagonist's penthouse lease should be fine, but Agatha and the other employees are likely to lose their jobs. She regretfully informs them that Tao's uncle in Hong Kong has contacted them to sell the casino immediately because there has been too much 'drama' surrounding it. As the protagonists enter Agatha Baker's office, Agatha is gathering her personal effects into a cardboard box with Tom Connors' assistance.
