He understood what the guard wanted to say.
The special invitation. The special guest. The special table. .
Adam moved forward. He walked past the tables of masked men. He walked to the lone table with the single chair. He sat down.
The guard gave a slight bow and then walked away. He disappeared back into the shadows from which he came.
A moment later a new person approached Adam's table. It was a lady. She was wearing very fancy clothes. She also had a mask on her face.
She came forward and placed some food on his table. She then set down a pair of glasses and a large menu-like card. The card was very big and was closed inside a thick file.
Adam's mask covered his eyes well. But his mouth was left open. He realized he could eat the food that was kept there.
The lady bent down a little. She spoke to Adam in a low voice. "Sir you should wear these glasses. Then you will be able to see even in this dark."
