"Hell of a way you take to prove yourself," Hal Maffer complained.

Goodnight shrugged.

"Goddamned Alliance'll probably have a dozen investigators sniffing around, which isn't good for business."

"Life's rough all around," Goodnight said, unworried. He had never been impressed with the Alliance's gumshoes. "So what'd the client say?"

"First was 'Holy friggin' shit,' " Maffer said. "Then he said that all besters are crazy, but there's never been one crazy enough to blow up one of his own offices.

"He's convinced all over the place that you're genuine.

"Man, that office must've had all the records on every Alliance troopie that's come through in the past ten years looking for free-lance work."

"And I don't notice any of them offering to buy me a beer," Goodnight said.

"You think anybody's talking about what happened?" Maffer said. "I sure as hell ain't."

"You're a good little clam," Goodnight said.

"Yeah," Maffer said. "Now, here's the address for the guy who's hiring for the Foley System. Get over to him by yesterday.

"He'll have you out of the system in a day or so, which is none too soon for me.

"You could get in trouble, hanging around with you, Atherton."

"I never have," Goodnight said gravely. "Always found me the best of company, too."
