"It'll be fun," I laughed. "Shame I didn't bring my screen
grabber, I'd love some shots to show the guys down at the club."

"Screw it," Gosub said. "Swift, take out this mess."

"Righty o," he said, and the staircases came crumbling down
around us, all the mortar mysteriously gone. The men unravelled
into bare lines.

I panicked.

"WHAT did you do that for?!?"

"I figured it'd be easier. Look, there's the door, just
above us."

"You probably just triggered every alarm in this room with a
disturbance like that!" I shouted. "Geez, Gosub, you can be a
real weenie at times. Swift, cut the alarms!"

"Complying," Swift said. "There are a lot of 'em though,
it's a bit hard to suppress them all."

"Weenie?!?" Gosub exclaimed. "Weenie? Who's the weenie?
Here you are, getting into INCREDIBLY dangerous places for what?
Money? No, you just like that feeling of paranoia and imminent
doom! Where's the sense in that?"

"There is no sense in it!" I shouted. "That's the point!
Your average cutter's got the life expectancy of a mayfly. What
fun is life if you can't make life fun? Good lord, you've been
training under me for two months now and haven't learned the
philosophy style of thing one bit--"

"PHILOSOPHY?!" Gosub shouted. "It's not Zen, it's crime!"

"If you've got objections to crime, go flip more burgers for
all I care. I pulled you out of that pit. Don't you want a
better life?"

"Yes! I just don't want it to be very short!"

"Jack out if you want to. I can handle this run on my own."

"Oh no," Gosub taunted. "You'd just get yourself killed if
you didn't have me around. And I'm not gonna live with that one
for the rest of my days. I'm staying right here."

"I do NOT need you around to stay alive."
