Lothan took the seat Akimura offered him, pleased the fixer didn’t subscribe to traditional Japanese custom and have them all sitting on the floor. The padded hotel chair was comfortable, and even large enough to accommodate his size.

Toshiro Akimura was of somewhat less than average height, yet carried a commanding presence. He was clearly used to receiving a certain measure of respect from the people around him. If he was at all nervous about meeting with Lothan and G-Dogg, he didn’t show it. He was casually dressed in a dark sport coat and slacks with a cream-colored V-neck shirt, though Lothan recognized the design as one of Vashon Islands’ lines of secure clothing for executives. The coat was lined with ballistic cloth, and an enhancement to the weave of the shirt provided an additional layer of protection.

Akimura’s dark hair was cut conservatively short, revealing the gleam of the datajack at his right temple, and his dark eyes were like shuttered windows, impossible to read. Lothan suppressed the automatic urge to scan the fixer astrally; it would hardly be polite, and, more importantly, if Akimura had arranged for magical protection, it might be taken as a threat.

“I’m glad you contacted me to set up this meeting,” Akimura began.

“And why is that?”

“Because I need to get in touch with Kellan Colt, and I understand you know her quite well.”

“Well enough.”

“Then you can pass on a message for me. She’s in danger.”

“Indeed?” Lothan raised one eyebrow. “I was under the impression she was in danger from you.”

“She’s not,” the fixer answered. “I don’t mean Kellan any harm. On the contrary, I’ve been trying to protect her, but I haven’t been able to reach her.”

“You have an odd idea of protection, Mr. Akimura. Does it include sending a gang after the person you are trying to shield?”

The other man shook his head impatiently. “I have already answered this accusation. I didn’t send the Halloweeners after Kellan. I only heard about it after the fact.”

“If you didn’t employ the Halloweeners, then who did?”

“I have my suspicions.”

“But you choose not to share them?”

“Forgive my saying so, Lothan, but I don’t know you, and you don’t know me. I don’t know where your loyalties lie, and you have no reason to trust me.”

“That’s quite true. So why should I believe any of what you’re telling me now?”

“Because I know that Kellan is in very grave danger,” Akimura said, fixing Lothan with a level stare, “and I doubt she is aware that someone close to her is planning to betray her.”
