Chapter Nine

‘Oh,’ I said. So God was in manufacturing.

‘We-trade-body-stuff.’ He thumped his bony chest. ‘Me-I-carry-the-sebar-virus. Me-I’ve-lived-longer-than-all-the-others. Ike-says-me-I’m-a-fokin’-miracle. Get-all-my-food-for-free-now. S’long-as-I-turn-up-for-swabs. ’

Sebar virus? I’d never heard of it but the sores on his face told me enough. Ike - God - sounded fully uncool.

I delved into my pack for some of Loser’s hair and flicked it to the petit. ‘Here,’ I said. ‘It’s part dingo. Worth something around here. Buy yourself some health care.’

He gave a confused look.

I slipped the rest of the hair away into my pack before I lowered the python back and strapped it in.

Damn me if the little creep didn’t whip a magnifier and light gismo out of his pants to check it out. What was with these Mo-Vay people? Was everyone a lab geek?

His grin broadened into something almost pleasant. ‘Go-to-the-pies-a-couple-sets-down. Tell-’em-me-Monts-says-you-should-have-the-floater. ’

Monts? I gave him a look.

‘’S’-cool. ’S-not-on-the-menu. Strictly-on-the-house-for-friends. ’

Friends? What was the little creep thinking?

I bared my teeth at him, and moved on.
