“Hey, what’s shaking you guys.” The redheaded dulcet tone spoke from disembodied audio. “How’s the office working out for you?”
“Good. We’ve been making cash credit under our new company name: Substitute Security & Systems. We’ll jack you up and make sure you don’t get jacked.”
“Sounds like a niche. Have you heard from Derringer lately?”
“Actually, just yesterday. He said he was going dark into Transnet Archipelago.”
“That’s a lot of gateway cruising. Well, it must mean he took the job. And I had just thought of something for him. Now I’ll have to run into him, how annoying.”
“We could pass on a message for you, next time he’s in touch.”
“No, I can take care of my own. But go ahead and tell him that we talked.”
