“You mean foodstuffs? No, that would be Food Services.”

“No, this is live. I don't need food. I need a live animal.”

“Still not my area, I'm afraid. Rolling stock, avionics, computers, communications hardware. That's my game.”

“Who's going to help me procure a pig?”

“A pig, sir?”

“Huge and live, Hassid.”

“I have no idea.”

Hickman stared at him, apparently not accepting the dodge.

“I could look into it,” David said. “But—”

“I knew I could count on you, David. Good man. Let me know first thing in the morning, 'cause the word I get is that the big man is going to assign me that today.”

“Oh, you haven't even heard from him about it yet?”

“No, this is what you'd call a heads-up from a colleague who cares.”

“Really?”

“Oh, yeah. Guy like me tends to accumulate friends all up and down the corporate ladder. Buddy told me today he was in on a meeting with Fortunato and Carp—oh, forgive me! I know better'n that. I should never use those names, especially in front of a subordinate. I'm gonna direct you to disregard that, Hassid, as your superior officer.”

“Jury will disregard, sir.”

“Yeah, good. Anyhow, this guy's in a meeting with His Excellency and the Most High Reverend, and he says they're agitated—you know what that means?

Exercised, I guess you'd say.”

“Understood, Commander.”

“They're upset, up in arms, whatever you wanna call it, about the Judah-ites.”

“I've heard of them, sir.”

“I know you have. Their top guy, who Peacekeeping thought they had flushed out and sent packin', turns up now in a new place—we don't know where, which doesn't have Carp—the potentate, any too cheery, if ya know what I mean—and this Judah guy's turnin' out more and more of this anti-Carpath—well, I guess, yeah, it's OK in that context. This guy's disseminatin' anti-Carpathia stuff everywhere. He's predictin' and says the Holy Bible prophesies that Antichrist—which is what he calls His Excellency, imagine—is gonna defile the temple and sacrifice a pig on the altar.”

“You don't say.”
