asked when we wanted to have the surgery to remove the chip and to return WillieтАЩs
face and voice to their pre-Christopher states. WeтАЩd had a night to calm down, so
we didnтАЩt accuse him of using the sex video to give our relationship with Lydia a
shove over a cliff. Of course he had done it. But his job, and ours, was to get Lydia
Love to start producing again. We had a contract, and all he did was help it along.

And he lived up to his end of the bargain. We got WillieтАЩs face and voice
back, more or less, and the chip was removed from our jaw. The doctors made a
point of showing it to us after the operation.

As if a conscience could be removed so easily.

Quiet. Willie canтАЩt shake hands, think, and listen to Christopher all at the same
time.

So let Christopher take over the social duties. Crash a few knuckle-bones.

Deal.

Today our album, Willie Todd, has been released on datacard, DAT, and
compact disc. Just in time for Christmas. And thanks to Daniels, three of its tracks
are already in heavy rotation on the audio and video networks. He even arranged for
this release party at the Austin Hyatt Regency with a whole shitload of CCA bigshots
and performers in attendance.

We asked Daniels if one performer in particular would be here, and he winked.
But we donтАЩt see her anywhere.

The son of a bitch can lie without opening his mouth.

Daniels has done a lot for us, but we still donтАЩt like him.

Wait. There she is, by the waterfall, talking to a couple of CCA execs.

She might not want to see us.

Sure she will. We donтАЩt look like Christopher anymore.

ThereтАЩs a touch on our arm. ItтАЩs Daniels. Our well-wishers melt away until
weтАЩre alone with him beside the fake creek burbling through the atrium.

тАЬYour hatтАЩs crooked, Willie,тАЭ he says, giving us that alligator grin of his. тАЬYou
want to make a good impression on her, donтАЩt you?тАЭ
 тАЬItтАЩs all right if I meet her?тАЭ we ask.

Daniels raises his eyebrows. тАЬNone of my business.тАЭ

What a load. ItтАЩs exactly his business.

тАЬYouтАЩve finished her sessions?тАЭ we ask.
