Three more raiders looted equipment off the bus. Lee-Daniel played a little game with himself, betting on which one would be the next to turn raccoon. He was two for three within twenty minutes.

"Stop them!" the Series A man said.

1426

"Why?" Lee-Daniel said.

1427

"They'll ruin us!" the Series B man said.

1428

"They'll ruin you." Lee-Daniel said. "There go the satellite uplinks. Wow. Good retirement benefit."

1429

"What do you want?" the Series A man asked.

1430

"Sell me your stake. He sells Mac his stake. The paperwork's inside, on the fax machine."

1431

"You're joking," the Series A man said.

1432

"That's the deal," Lee-Daniel said. "And I don't see anyone offering anything better."

1433

There was a tinkle from the bus and Joey Riel sped away with a stack of optical switches, off into the night, staggering slightly from the burden and the booze.

1434

"I need to call the partners," the Series A man said.

1435

"You have fifteen minutes. Better not take much longer," Lee-Daniel said, as an expensive crash resounded from the direction whence Joey Riel had gone.

1436

"Fifteen minutes?" the Series B man said, whitening.

1437

"You want several weeks?" Lee-Daniel said. He wiped his palms on his thighs and kept his grin off his face. It'd be good to get back in the driver's seat.
