"What did you tell them?" MacDiarmid asked, softly.

"I said goodbye," Lee-Daniel said. "I told them I wished them luck. I told
them how fucking great they are, and how important the work is. They know it,
but you need to remind them sometimes."

"I'll remember that," MacDiarmid said.

"Don't let these assholes drive the bus, OK?" Lee-Daniel jerked his head at
the Series A/Series B men.

"Are you kidding?" MacDiarmid snorted. "Not on a fucking bet."

They turned to look at the investors. Lee-Daniel didn't know either of the
investors' names. Fucking spear-carriers, fronts for unimaginable, implacable
wealth, charged with returning 400 percent over three years on a
national-budget-sized fund.

He had a bunch of exit lines he'd thought of, but none of them mattered out
there in the moonlight. He'd shown the CogRads the traffic histograms on his
clipboard before coming out. Crazy stuff going on in Akwesahsne.

He used the clipboard to open the bus, stepped aboard and grabbed his duffel.
A cab pulled up as Lee-Daniel left the bus. He tapped the roadhouse chip to
the door, which swung open.

"St. Regis," he said, leaning in to toss in his duffel. "You know where it
is?"

"The Indian reservation?" the driver asked.
"That's it," he said.

"Yeah."

Lee-Daniel looked up from the clipboard as the cab pulled away. The crew was
trickling outside. He knew the surveyor out front, knew that he did tricks
with a butterfly knife, that he sent money home to his little sister in
Muncie. He couldn't remember his name. He was no good with names. But he knew
his people.

He looked back at the clipboard, cranked up the volume. Heard the panting,
heard the babble, heard his new crew, using his radios. His hands shook. He
put the clipboard down, plumped his duffel into a pillow, leaned back and
closed his burning eyes. Heard the voices. He picked up the clipboard, started
up a remote admin interface for the remaining Akwesahsne radios. He'd sleep
later.
