Selling Out
âThis canât take too long. Iâve got band practice on Monday nights.â
âWho plays music on a Monday night?â
âOnce upon a time, we were always too hungover to do anything else.â
Lou shook his head. âSounds about right.â
âHey man, my carâs this way.â
âNo, itâs not.â But he followed anyway.
Before I met up with Lou, Iâd moved my car to its new assigned spot. Louâs eyes went wide when I flashed my badge before the entrance to the high-security lot beneath the building.
âNo!â Lou dug his fingertips into his temples. Hammer Tech had already engraved a nameplate behind my Ford.
âHow the fuâ¦â He cut himself off, probably realizing the number of cameras and mics down here. âHow did this happen? I spent years trying to get usable reports out of you on time. Do you know how many times youâve embarrassed me to middle-management? How many times theyâve scolded me for shit you pulled?â
âAw. Thanks for trying to make me feel better. Iâve been a little nervous about this job since Pete Obrecht himself handed me the position.â
âLetâs just go.â He slammed the door after plopping down hard.
âHey man, I didnât mistreat your Maserati.â
âFair enough. I donât know why youâd put so much money into this dinosaur.â
âItâs the same year as your last car.â
âYeah, but it was a Maserati.â
âHa. Was.â
âFuck you.â
I pulled out onto a quiet backstreet and made for King of Prussia. Lou sat there and moped for most of the trip, until curiosity finally got the better of him.
âSo, whatâd they do to you? Some kind of mind augmentation? Reflex enhancement? Youâre definitely not you.â
âI mean, pretty much. Iâm still adapting and a ways off from the advanced functions. Itâs been pretty subtle compared to other stuff weâve seen come out of that basement.â
âOkay, but itâs definitely a gene-splice, right?â
âYeah. Extensive. Youâll get your money.â
âI donât know, man. Maurice is a flake.â
âThen he doesnât pay us, whatever.â
âIâm not the one who got two raises this year.â
âChrist Lou, Iâm not trying to fuck you over, okay? I got the mods like you wanted. Donât act like Iâm not playing along.â
The fat man crossed his arms over his gut. âFair enough.â
I parked the car near a poorly aged section of the mall. A few cars had been sitting there for ages. Lou watched me stick my gun in the center console on top of another gun, but I couldnât read his reaction. He closed my door, this time with a little more care. Hopefully, if I made a contact, I could cut the bastard out of the picture. Unlikely though. If he gets a fat payout, heâll try to keep me around, even with his lack of leverage.
The Arab dude, Maurice, waved us right into the back.
âHave you had any complications since the splice?â
âYeah. Almost made me go insane. No hyperbole.â
âI believe you. Lou insists itâs for a defense contract. Letâs see.â
I laid through the same scans as before while Maurice watched stone-faced. I had no clue what to make of him. He sounded like an Arab, but had a directness Iâd expect from an Asian businessman.
