sick order. They seldom made major mistakes. Tonight might be crucial; that it came on the heels of the eight murders and a discouraging search was annoying but par. Mary pictured Selectors getting Goldsmith doing their job claiming to do her job for her. She turned away from the view. Fully a third of US citizens spot-polled by LitVid supported Selector illegal activity at least tacitly cocktail chatter support uninvolved go with the mob approval or deep bitter eye for eye. Ironic that most of this third were untherapicd; Selectors preyed most often on untherapied, they being more likely to commit the sort of crimes that spurred passion for retribution. Knock on the door who is it bringing pain what a surprise. Lieutenant Choy, she heard in her left ear. Take Aisle La Cienega to level five four, lane Durant, dominium two one. That is a three level outer cavity dwelling. Your first position is west first floor fadng arbeiter elevator entrance, joining third team commander Lieutenant R Sampson and Junior Lieutenant T Willow. Probable weapons include flechette and aero pistols. Pd medical will be on scene. Mary specked all her expensive transform being violently rearranged by flechette and prodded by a pd medical asking questions: What is this? Do you wish return to normal anatomy for this trauma? She bad never been injured in line of. Precaution; police wisdom quick moves. She walked the distance to the meeting point with Sampson and Willow. They stood in plainclothes near an airshaft balcony a hundred yards from her first standby, talking quietly. Mary joined them and they moved ninety degrees around the circular shaft. Warm air from below lifted Marys hair. When they stopped Sampson smiled at her; Willow was solemnly nervous. Reeve tells us youre secondary in this jiltz, Sampson said quietly. Its not my primary, she admitted. But Im concerned. I worked with W Taylor and C Chu last year to track the Phung kidnappers. These could be more important, Sampson said. We may have three or four victims. As many as ten Selectors. Maybe even the second in command. Shlege? she asked. Sampson nodded. If wed jiltzed a week earlier, we might have had Yol Origund himself. Really. Sampson showed her a pd slate with floorplan of the dominium. Three levels. Very expensive. Owned by A Pierson and F Mustapha, dty licensed public lawyers. Both Pierson and Mustapha had connections with the Raphkind campaign staff. Both have been seen in New York by local pd in the last three hours. But the dominium is occupied. On loan, Willow said with a lift of brows, as if it were terribly significant. Mary nodded. Its probably dirty east, Sampson said. But everybody here is local. Nano watchers in the paint have tagged sax regulars four occasionals in the last twenty four hours. Victims were not seen being brought in; that was before we tagged this for a jiltz. Any idea who the victims are? Mary asked. CEC and Reeve think two petties and two executives. No names. Shlege is big on executive responsibility. Comb executives? No, Willow said. One is a shade manufacturer. We dont know what the petties do. They have aeros and flechettes, Mary said. She turned to Sampson. Do we get issue? This is sensitive territory; only first team has weapons. Mary sniffed with professional disdain. Were on nine lives again. Willow glanced between them. He was four months new. Sampson relieved his puzzlement. The pd doctors tell us they can reassemble a severely damaged body about nine times per individual before some fatal incorrectible snouts up. Nine lives. Like cats. Ah, Willow said, showing enlightenment. Have either of you been... reassembled? His face fell, seeing Marys small grin. Only Mary, Sampson said. By choice, not necessity. Sorry, Willow said. Nada. Its a fine transform, Willow continued, digging his hole deeper. Really... Fine. T Willow comes from a south county christian tech family, Sampson said by way of explanation.
