Collector

The distinguished art collector was nearly frantic. One day left to get everything done before his most important auction of the year in Milan. A two-week-long trip, the collector had studied the treasures offered for months. He'd likely add a few choice wins to his valuable home gallery. But now, more unexpected problems.

A serviceman shows up at his front door. Working on a neighbor's electrical problem, it was determined related to a common area relay switch, and a few other homes' underground wiring had to be checked. It could take the next few days, but the art collector was leaving for the airport at dawn. "Do what you need to do, my housekeeper is here.", the collector said, his mind elsewhere.

With everything now going according to plan, and his small crew ready to act, electrician Dennis McCullen, actually not his real profession or name- although coincidentally, a competent expert on home security systems- was careful to look surprised by the casual travel comments. He then wished the distinguished art collector a good, long trip.
