A wide grin erupted on Professor McElroy's face. He couldn't believe that the people from The Silver House had come to recruit him so soon. This was like a dream come true. There were butterflies in his chest as he took a small intake of breath. He literally jumped from his chair and ran to Neal. In a light voice he said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Perry." He shook Neal's hands intensely. "It is such a pleasure to have you here." His excitement was over the top. McElroy could almost imagine the expensive cars, huge bungalow, traveling to exotic locations and a high package when he looked eye-to-eye at Neal. "Please sit here," he said, pulling out a chair for him.
Neal narrowed his eyes. He scoffed and then sat on the chair offered to him.
The two henchmen kept standing even though the professor asked them to sit. Their poker faces were frightening, so he avoided their stare.
