She acknowledges the light golf claps and walks toward Gray, murmuring with her lips barely moving,

"We're moving clear of the room. Send in the cavalry."

Ross has to sweep the guests up while they're in the area in order to pin anything on them, but it can't be while she and Steve are in the room. She returns Kwan's nod and follows Gray out of the reception area and down a short hall to a beautifully appointed office. This building may be rented, but he does things right.

"This will only take a moment," he tells her, and gestures for her to take out her phone. "As soon as the digital transfer goes through, the item is yours."

She pulls up the app and takes a second to hope that Shuri had spoofed the account correctly, then swipes a finger and smiles as his phone chimes. "Done. And may I say, a very great pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Gray."

Somewhere outside the building, those code words set action in motion.
