Description

McCloud Fashions is doing well and two clients' clubs have been created to encourage retail loyalty; on the other hand Holloway Fine Furniture has suffered a fall in turnover and David Holloway decides to introduce a four day week to save on overheads but maintaining the wage levels of his work force. Over the previous years he has built up a skilled and reliable work force and does not want to lose any. It is winter and he is convinced that orders will increase in the spring. He and his wife Trisha decide to take a holiday in Mauritius, neither company is actually making losses and in the last two years they have had very little leisure. Mixing pleasure with business they take DVDs of the fashions and catalogues of the furniture in the hope of tapping into an Eastern Market for luxury goods - the holiday complex they have chosen is one that attracts the wealthy.On their second day they are confronted in their bungalow by two armed men - a recent capture of pirates by the Mauritian armed forces has resulted in a raid by a large party of armed terrorists to take hostages. David's training in the SAS enables him to kill the two who have walked into their rooms before they have time to settle in; he then makes Trisha as secure as possible and leaves to see if the neighbours have suffered an attack - they have and after using the weapons taken from their attackers shoots the pair in the neighbours apartment.
