After a little over a month away, Vergos reappeared in Aden in the spring of 2011. On one of his first days back, he summoned Plakakis and Theodorou to a meeting. Plakakis could see the delight on his face; the salvor clearly had news that he couldn’t wait to share. Vergos explained that he’d been given a “job” by Iliopoulos. It was a grand plan; if it succeeded, he said, they’d all be rich. This time, however, a grounding like that of the Elli wouldn’t work. No one would believe that particular lightning could strike twice.
