- Keep A-Movin' Dan snorted. "You think a junkie misses sobriety?"
- I knocked on the bar. "Hello! There aren't any junkies anymore!"
- I looked askance at Lil, who considered for a moment, then nodded.
- I stood and went to my closet, started to dress.
- Debra nodded at him. "Oh, sure. Dan and I are pals, right?"
- Tim said, "Can I show them the demo, Debra?"
- 1. That Debra's people had had me killed, and screw their alibis,
- I have to admit, there was a part of me that concurred.
- I was offline.
- Lil said, "What's your timeline, then?"
- I was working up the energy to do just that when Dan came in.
- I called his cochlea. "My systems are back online," I subvocalized.
- He started. "You were offline?"
- I nudged him with an elbow. "Make a hardcopy," I hissed.
- I scrolled down to display the credits. "I'll be damned," Dan breathed.
- Dan fumbled. "Not really. . . I mean, not in so many words, but --"
- I wasn't nuts after all.
- I wouldn't be restoring from backup.
- I opened my mouth to call the doc, and what came out was "Waaagh!"
- I had no more interface.
- I took her hand. "Kim, we've got a job for you, if you're interested."
- I smiled and took her hand off my shoulder. "How old are you, Kim?"
- I padded silently down the steps and got into my runabout.
- I ran.
- I didn't.
- I called up the doc.
- I bit back a sob. "I'm sure, doc."
- I whooshed out my relief. "I promise."
- He gave me a gentle slug in the shoulder. "Thanks."
- I just couldn't do it -- not yet, anyway.
- I shook my head, confused. "We did?" I said.
- I roused myself and entered the parlor.
- He cocked an eyebrow. "Yup. Took the backup this morning."
- I nodded.
- I sat on the edge of my bed, head in my hands.
- I looked at Dan and he patted my hand. "Strange times," he said.
- Lil's eyes blazed. "Let me handle this," she said. "All right?"
- I looked away. "No," I said. "I don't believe I will."
- He nodded. "By which you mean 'my last year,'" he said. "Right?"
- I nodded and drank.
- He nodded. "That's right."
- I told the voice to shut up and got her a cup of water.
