I drew a box and a couple of circles, with lines for a flash going off, on the outer wall of the first cubicle. No one would be able to miss it. It didnât look exactly like a camera, but it would do. And for the finishing touch I wrote SMILE DANA, with a happy face right beside it.

And now you do the two together, trying to bribe me and threatening me if I donât take the bribe.â âI donât like to think of it in those terms,â he said.
