was the first of the month, he got a call from a representative of
one of the insurance companies he dealt with. It was a friendly
guy named Ted Franklin. "Jeeze, what did you do?" he said. "Hire a
hit man?"
"What?" Leo said.
"You didn't hear?"
"Hear what?"
"Oh, well . . ." Ted's voice assumed a more somber quality.
"Three of your clients were all killed on a bus last night."
"You're kidding! Which ones?"
"Three biggies, Leo. A Maxwell Stout, a John Segrahm, and a

Wendy Boston. All three had policies for 5 million a piece."
"Oh no!"
"Yeah." Some of the humor crept back into Ted's voice. "What
are you trying to do, break us? Fifteen million new dollars, Leo!
All from clients who's policies just barely matured."
"You're not saying you think that I had anything to do with

full and successful day, Leo arrived home and relaxed for a while
in his hot tub, then dried off and sat down at his kitchen table
for his monthly ritual. It was the first of the month, and his
kitchen table was covered with bills.
He pulled out his pocket computer and plugged it into the

into his American account. Fifteen million new dollars total.
Fifteen million, he thought. Fifteen million! Leo broke into
a sweat, wondering what was going on.
